Damn! I knew i was away longer than i thought!

*pauses*

There seems to be a large increase in the number of ten to twelves and not enough twelve o'clocks

ah!

have you looke behind the sofa in the lobby, you can find everything in there, I found the numberplate from a Delorian i there in two days time

I haven't encountered any in the corridors.

This is a majot problem, I go to lunch at twelve O'Clock and its always ten to

*checks sofa*

*comes back*

No theres none there! We have a time thief problem people!

Hey, could I join up? Just a simple "Traveller" title will do. Although I normally travel via music.

*Pulls out a trusty pan pipe to demonstrate with*

You'll get an answer one day, try travelling foward a few months

*dissapears in search of a stock of 12:00 *

*Puts a portable chalk board on the floor with some complimentary chalk*

Here, I'll travel to the future. Whoever writes these answers, just mark it on this.

*Plays something on the pan pipe and fades from site*

*with a bang Time Traveller fals flat on his space out a wormhole*

*looks up*

groh!

*stands, shakily*

It's as if you guys expect me to be omnipresent or something...

computus defunctus est - noli carbarundum illegitimi

I try my best.

You're added, Penny

*takes out small hourglass, turns it a few times and throws it at the wall. It smashes, opening a wormhole*

need to go back in time to find out what Traveller Ralph finaly settled on as his name...

*jumps through*

In other words its an excelent posittion, added you already

I knew my egg times were going missing, somebody swiped some of my stock and next thing I know, your smashing hour glasses about the place, something fishy is going on here

not at all, sir, these are hourglasses, try cooking an egg for an hour!

Fishy you say? well hourglasses can do some pretty violent damage when smashed...

You should know well enought that an hour and an egg cooking time are just just the same amout of time looked at from a diffent angle, conquencaly, hourgalsses and egg times are exatly the same up when you call it an hourglass, it seems to run for an hour, while call it an egg timer runs out after a few minutes

*thinks... does the Society Philosopher have need of an apprentice...*

Nope, an hour's an hour and three minutes is three minutes, the only time at which the two glasses are comparible is before they have been turned, as prior to that point it is difficult to know which will run longer.

We could perform some sort of experiment to tes this thoery...

*tries to think of an experiment*

Perhaps one that involves a tropical island, and some sort of big party....... ...... or one with maths and equations and wieghts and temporal vortex's

Our clocks at school are always dodgy. In one of the rooms today it was one second and then the hand'd go back and then it's be the same second and then we'd go back in time and then it's be the same secone again. It was very dodgy, especially since it was in RE and that's when you're busy watching the clock...

We also have places where's the same time PERMANENTLY. It's was wuarter to 11 for about 3 months in the mucis room last year...

a broken clock is right twice a day.

we have clocks that range from +-30 minutes at our school... also theres one with its cardboard thingy that has the numbers on it upside down so that the 12 is in the 6 place, etc...

and this time I am inclined to beleive Withnail was right, we really are slipping into the arena of the unwell.
