    When you think about this thing being built as early as 150 BC, it's just baffling. 150 years before the birth of Christ! How in the WORLD did they do it??? How could they build this, and not have wall clocks or wristwatches? It's truly amazing. Almost makes a case for alien intelligence.

    WOW.
    "20 minutes (late to work)? Shit. Last year I woke up three weeks too late.
    My advice is to go for the alien abduction story. Look bemused, dishevelled and on the verge of tears as you recount your story of intrusive and degrading medical tests.
    Worked for me anyway. I still have colleagues asking me what it is like to fuck a green womanoid with seventeen breasts.
    Alternatively just walk in and inform everyone that alcoholism is indeed a disease and that they should be less judgemental and perhaps a little more supportive."
    - graeme on the addiction to this place.

    How could they build this, and not have wall clocks or wristwatches?
    It prolly took a great deal of time and effort to build, and therefore was about
    as precious and valuable as the Hubble telescope...

    Either that or Design Theory
