Interesting side-note to the new doors, Ralph Nader and his Raiders
proposed improved doors back in 1987 but the airlines balked.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.


Actually that's incorrect. A stopped clock
would only be right if you looked at it at the exact
moment of the time that's displayed. This is all based
on the assumption that it's a clock with hands and that
it's a 12 hour clock.

The clock is right (for that infintessimal moment) whether you're looking at
it or not.


You'd be wrong about that, because if I'm not looking at it for the time
shown but only at the time not shown then it's wrong. And if I look at
twice a day, it'll be wrong both times.

I guess I burst your bubble too. Humble apologies.

Sigh!!! It's wrong all but twice a day.

They should be humble.

How long does an 8-day clock go without winding?
