    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...

    Then edit it again.

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

    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!
