Did I mention my X-files-style Lost-Time experience? I don't think that I have. But if I did, it's still a decent story, so telling it twice must be twice as fun, no? NOW PREPARE FOR SOME DOUBLE GLEE!

Two of the watches in my apartment stopped within one minute of each other. The electronic watch on my cell phone kept going. Both are mechanical, run on batteries, and stopped precisely at 11:00 P.M. One of them started again after 20 minutes.

So far the story is not so good, it's just improbable, on a Douglas Adams scale. The cool part comes here: when I went to repair them, I told this to the clock repair man. He said "oh yeah, I get that all the time". Me: "Pardon?" Him: "I hear it from a lot of people, seems it happens a lot around here". CREEP-O-RAMA!
