It would look darned silly, though. I work in an office with such clocks. I find them quite a bit nicer, once I realized they were 24 hour, and not 12 hour. (The reason it has 24 hour clocks is because it is a space research facility, and apparently, the space program realized long ago that 12 hour time is silly.) - Jay Kominek Plus =C3=A7a change, plus c'est la m=C3=AAme chose
