Here is a really clever clock which has more than 150 analog hands. Each hand rotates and spells out the hour of the day. In the example photo below, the four is visible. Click here to watch an animation of how it works.

Thanks to Brian for the tip.

A whiteboard with a clock built into it. Such a simple and grand idea! If you’ve ever been the unhappy participant of a 4 hour long meeting, this is for you! Unfortunately, I don’t know if the product is for sale. It was first released in 2004 and I couldn’t find it for sale online.

Thanks to Brian Shaler for the tip.

I ran across this awesome clock today and had to share. It might look really tacky if it didn’t match your home’s decor, but I think it could work well in some settings. You can learn more, or buy it at West Elm.

And if you don’t know what a plinth is, add it to your vocabulary:

In architecture, a plinth is the lower mouldings of a podium, pedestal or skirting, or a block or slab upon which a column, pedestal, statue or vase is based. In the classical orders it is the square block of moderate height under the base mouldings of a column or pedestal.

One type of fool’s errand is to send someone to find a plinth ladder.
