Analog life clock takes 84 years to complete one sweep

Kevin Kelly (who has a life countdown clock on his computer desktop) would probably like Bertrand Planes' clock, which has a year hand that makes a complete sweep of the face every 84 years. It's an easy way to see at a glance how much of your life remains, if you're lucky. Link

take my advice; at the 84th hour always ask for Cripple Mr.Onion or Exclusive Possession.

I just had a Déjà vu.

An article so irresistible it was posted twice on the same day and on the same blog. Perhaps Joel and Mark should swap phone numbers or something...

Hm. In my fuzzy overworked, too much to read, we are going to see TMBG on Saturday brain, I can't decide if that is hella-cool or if that hella-sucks. I'm probably inclined to the hella-cool. I would probably change my mind once I got to the 42 year mark though...
