But Why

We recently came to the conclusion, as you may have done some time ago, that the world needed saving.

Unlike you (one can only assume, given we named this page what we named it and you, well, didn't) we felt the best way to save the world would be with a collaborative blog.

Don't ask us to explain how, but the blog did save it, and you, friends, are welcome.

TJ WALES: Time For a Think

17:55

How does the 24-hour clock feel when the beautiful, the enigmatic, the symmetrically perfect 12-hour clock hits 5:55? Uhhhhh... the fucking wonder of it.

FIVE. FIFTY. FIVE.

It knows deep down how perfect it is being, that it has "made it" and is every bit as glorious as the 12-hour clock.

But this isn't enough.

It wants to radiate its form, consume your imperfections, blind you with its LED light in a bloom of green light as bright as the shriek of a dying man.

Of course it could tell everyone, it could plea with passersby to think, to spend a little time, to learn it's nuances and go for long walks in the park.

But it's all futile, utterly futile- the passerby is already fucking the 12 hour clock in a carpark, sweat rising through greasy hair and grit in the knees.

No. It was no use.
