Strange happenings in time and space...

Well, I came home the other night and noticed my clock on my computer was off by ... around 40 minutes. I assumed this was a one time error and just set it back, however, after returning from classes today I have once again found it off by a significant amount. After further investigation using a watch that, supposedly, is accurate to 1 second over 10 thousand years I have found that my computer is gaining 10 seconds for each minute that actually passes. Has anyone ever heard of this happening or know why it might be occurring? Furthermore... a clock I ordered from thinkgeek, water powered, has also had lots of time distortion, to the order of two hours as of this writing. Perhaps I live in some sort of temporal anomaly...

The ECCC is dead, if you hadn't noticed...

The last time I editted my signature was probably around the same time you signed up.

Then edit it again.

And yes, you're living in a temporal distortion field. My latest experiment has apperantly been a success.

Sorry... I suppose I can get a little rowdy in my sleep... my dreams tend to affect more than just me...

Currently the real time is 10:17... my computer says 11 32... awesome.

13:33 not so awesome. :(

Bring in a third timekeeping device and see if it goes wonky too.

This is a GOOD thing as you can show the time to your manager at the beginning of the day. Then at 11am when your PC says it's 5pm you can go home! :D
