Trash on it for other things, perhaps.

wall-piece for, say, a hospital waiting room - something to amuse
and pass the time until they snagged the gerbil.

I would say its more of a moving sculpture that a reliable clock, but the beauty of it should not be reduced because it can't tell you exactly how long it is to the BSG rerun.

]]> <![CDATA[Matchstick Clock Spells Out The Hours But Can't Tell Time]]> fuckin stupid.

In a world intent on finding more and more difficult ways to tell time, this is better.

]]> <![CDATA[Matchstick Clock Spells Out The Hours But Can't Tell Time]]> @Leonard Nimrod: or you can just have that one matchstick spin around its end, that way you just go by where the longer side is pointing.

jbhitter24

]]> <![CDATA[Matchstick Clock Spells Out The Hours But Can't Tell Time]]> All it would need is a matchstick in the center that spins in a circle. Wherever the colored tip is pointing is how many minutes that have gone by.

Though, the images don't appear to have the match stick heads. That would mean you might be 30 minutes off the correct time.

]]> <![CDATA[Matchstick Clock Spells Out The Hours But Can't Tell Time]]> That's pretty massive for something that can't even tell time.

It's cool, though.
