stuff snipped

Wall clocks, table clocks, pictures with clocks in them. Some worked, some
didn't. Many ticked, many chimed.

I recently learned that in a room of grandfather clocks, they will (mostly)
all eventually synchronize. Can you guess why?

The 'timekeeper' gets tired of them not being synchronized and adjusts
them.
