Slightly off topic, but did you know that an electric plug in clock is not actually a clock? It measures the 60 cycles per second of the incoming electricity, which is a very imprecise time keeping method. But over time, the clocks are extremely accurate because the power plant either speeds up or slows down their generators to reset the time once every day.
