Re: Dr. DaDa, is this your clock?

There's some similarity to my clock. Mine displays time that is always in the future.

2:11 is always in the future.

Well, some of the time, anyway. The rest of the time it's in the past.

My guess is something superstitious.

Can you think of any time when 2:11 has not been in the future?

Sure, 2:11 AM and 2:11 PM today are in the past. Ditto yesterday at 2:11 AM and 2:11 PM. And the day before yesterday, etc. They were in the future at some point in time, but that time has passed.

I guess some people just live in the past.

Those who can't remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
