>>I think practically every high school newspaper around has used it at some time, too. The kids' school, though, one year had the slogan "As timely as the school's clocks." This is was hilarious because not only was the paper published in frequently, but you could walk into three different classrooms in the school and find three different times on the wall clocks. For some reason, they couldn't get them in synch.

>Probably no one complained because every kid today gets the time from their cell phone.
And couldn't read the time on a clock unless it was digital anyway <g>

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
