An Astronomical Clock In Prague, Czech Republic Is Still Operating Since 1410
This cool-looking clock is located in Prague, Czech Republic. Can you guess how old it is? Well, it will be 611 on October 9 this year! That makes it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world, but it is the oldest clock that is still fulfilling its function today. The clock is fully mechanized, showing the relative positions of the Sun, Moon, Zodiac constellations and, sometimes, other planets. It obviously shows the time as well as the date and astronomical and zodiacal information. Let's not forget the mini spectacle every hour on the hour, when Death shows up and turns its hourglass upside down. Then the 12 Apostles parade and nod to the crowd. In the end, the crow crows and the hour is rung. You could say that this clock is not merely a device to track time, but a piece of art.
A curious superstition is believed in Prague: it is said that if something happens to the clock or it is neglected, the skeleton on the side of the clock will nod its head and then the city of Prague will suffer. Maybe because of this superstition or because the clock is a piece of history and a true embellishment of the city, when the clock was damaged in 1945 by the Nazi uprising, people happily donated wood to repair the clock despite the shortage of the material in the country.
The issue with this is that in todays society we cannot be sure if you are trying to be funny, or if you actually belive it
"trying" is the key word...looks more like someone zoom called her first year psych class at college and now she's a progressive communist with short blue hair
Or she is in fact an evangelical Christian from Texas and believes this shit because she heard about it on info wars.
Or "she" is a guy who got a random girls name on a website. We'll never know. But we now know your political views and your sense of humor
"who's a good boy?'
or
"who ate the beef on the table? Brutus, did you eat the beef" as Brutus looked away guilty as he11
