    Is anyone else having memories of an old Looney Tunes where at the end Daffy Duck is on the giant's watch and acts as the hour and minute hands while he says, "Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock. Eh. It's a living."

    Youtube has failed me on finding this.

    @SkipErnst: It was the Jack and the Beanstalk episode. Bugs ate of the giant carrots, but Daffy, of his own admission was GREEEEEEEEEEDY and had to try for the goose that laid the golden eggs. (Great cartoon and cool clock.)

    Kind of an odd ordering.

    Going clockwise from the top left:

    Donkey Kong
    Super Mario Bros.
    Mario Bros.
    Super Mario Bros.
    Super Mario Bros. 3
    Super Mario Bros. 2
    Super Mario World
    Super Mario 64
    Paper Mario
    Super Mario Sunshine(?)
    Super Smash Bros. Brawl
    Super Mario Galaxy

    I'm wondering why they used SMB twice (sandwiching MB between them) and put SMB3 before SMB2...

    Creative? yes.

    But rather inconsistent. Number 4 for example should be behind number 3.

    In reply to Vase Clock Is Designed To Break When The Right Moment Comes
    I find the message of this product remarkably important, discursively speaking. Every time we use a product we are breaking it, just like this clock. It reminds me of an artwork by Chris Burden, called "Samson", which consists on a huge hydrauliuc jack connected to a gear box and a turnstile.

    " The 100 ton jack pushes two large timbers against the bearing walls of the museum. Each visitor to the exhibition must pass through the turnstile in order to see the exhibition. Each input on the turnstile ever so slightly expands the jack, and ultimately, if enough people visit the exhibition, Samson could theoretically destroy the building. Like a glacier its powerful movement is imperceptible to the naked eye. This sculptural installation subverts the notion of the sanctity of the museum (the shed that houses art)."

    Samson is currently assembled in a museum near my city (Belo Horizonte, Brazil), awesome experience. #clockvase

    I'm sincerely and incredibly surprised that nobody has slipped in a crack about Apple products yet... and the whole typical spiel about how "when they break, it's not a bug, it's a feature."

    ha, there. now you're not clever or funny for saying it. so... don't. #clockvase
