Did you know that clock is America's "Timekeeper?" Yes or No.
Did you know that it transmits its time to attuned clocks that are tuned to its transmission frequesncy? Yes or No.
Well some folks understand the process and, we have leveraged onto this technology.
OTOH, there are some folks are so out of touch, it is mind-bogling.
It's TIME for me to take the hounds out with my musket and search for wart hogs with Jethro in search for fresh fooood.
*rolling eyes*
Pretty sure there are more than one Cesium beam clocks involved in keeping "official" time. And, btw, the US is time keeper for the whole world.
My, we're touchy today! Yes, Cobra, we're all familiar with atomic clocks, and we all remember the 1950's Adventures of Superman episode where the perp tried to beat the statute of limitations (or get himself presumed dead) by hiding in a Superman-proof vault for exactly 7 years and 5 minutes, with his watch timed to the (then) national atomic clock. Superman foils him by having the atomic clock speed up a bit so the guy falls into Superman and Inspector Henderson's waiting arms 5 minutes before the deadline. Why the idiot didn't just wait another week or so is beyond me. The vault actually looked quite comfy.
Since you are so smart, boggling has two g's.
It's about time you learned to spell.
Say goodnight, Jethro.
