I once moved into an old Victorian that I would have sworn was haunted because all my clocks immediately started gaining time daily. Then, an electrical engineering professor explained to me that there wasn't enough current running thru the house. Based upon his recommendation, I contacted the electric company who came out, updated my box and stopped the problem. But, I can't remember the details of why he said the slow current made my clocks run faster. Refresh me, please.

You know how sometimes when you sneeze or something the numbers on a digital clock look like they're moving? Like all of the lines that make them up move away from each other. Why is that?

A friend of mine believes that every alarm clock ever made falls under some sort of industry standard where the dot is always used for the same one. I refuse to believe this is true but i haven't been able to find a large enough sample of clocks to find out. So if I get some people saying their clock has a dot for AM and others saying theirs is used for PM then I would know.

As far back as I can remember - All digital clocks have a colon separator that in most cases blinks! Why?

I noticed a few people have asked if anyone keeps seeing the same number over and over, but with me I keep seeing 2:22, 3:33 and 11:11 almost every time I look at a digital clock. I'm sure it doesn't mean much, but I just wonder how many other people this happens to. I didn't think much of it at first, but I keep seeing these same times almost every day for the past 6, or 7 months now. Maybe it's a same time phenomenon :-)

I really need this because I've been pushing back a project that is now due tommarow!

I am going to buy a lot (ca. 30) of large digital clocks. It is important that they are big in size (Something like 900cm^2 or bigger), and that they show hours, minutes AND seconds. Oh, and I live in denmark, so it must be possible to ship them to here. Now, I've browsed the internet for a bit, but I can't find anything. Can you guys help me?
