[edit] Introduction to Clock Time
There is time and there is clock time. The simple "time" is what people talk about genereally. It is what passes when you have fun and what stands still when you are bored or dead. Clock time however, is much simpler.
[edit] The concept of clock time
Clock time is the time that appears on the face of your clock. It is exact and precise. If you reset it, the clock time also resets. If you ignore it, it will still tick along. If you die it will also proceed, much to your relatives annoyance ("What's that fucking noise?!"). But finally it will of course stop since the battery runs out, it must be rewound or the automatic needs wiggling.
[edit] The uses of clock time
Usually we don't think about time and suppose it will keep ticking on it's own without the slightest bit of attention except when we're late, the train never ever shows up or your coffee waitress uses dough for shoes.
However, (clock) time is of the essence and not without it's needs: There is that difference between simple "time" and clock time. Time is relative. The problem is that when you have fun it moves fast, when you're bored or dead and it stands still. With clock time there is no such problem.
[edit] An example of time

[edit] The users of clock time
Ghandi likes it. Mahatma Hakuna Matata as well. And Elvis is a huge fan. Since the 1200:s Sofokles also follows the masses in the wake of clock time.
Some sources say Satan might be a recent fan, but there has been no confirmation as of today.
[edit] The controversiality of clock time
Some say that by using clock time you are supposed to travel through time by simply resetting your clock. However, Einstein proved there could be no such thing. As Einstein reset his clock nothing happened, except for that thing about the cupcakes and that wasn't even the plan.
When you reset your clock you simply change clock time and it stays changed. About moving you must use your lower growths (not bunyons). Try not to interrupt the motion, but reset in a single movement and no one should be much hurt.
