"Magic in clocks."  From The Instructor, 1956.

Temporal anomaly investigator Ambernectar 13 spotted this rift in time in the Bishopsgate district of London.  Don't be fooled by the bright sky -- the clock on the right is displaying midnight, not noon.

From Divided Kingdom by Rupert Thomson.

Temporal anomaly invetsigator Urbex Jane encountered this ruined clock tower at Villa Leopard.

Let's bring back the word "horologe."  From the University of Wisconsin's 1915 yearbook.

From Park College's 1958 yearbook.

From UNC Chapel Hill's 1937 yearbook.

We tracked down a temporal anomaly to the First Pentecostal Church Of North Little Rock, Arkansas.  Neither clock face agreed with the time in the world outside of the anomaly.  "As if time at least were to coincide with itself, and I with it, as if time and its two times were one single time that still was not time, a time where always is now and anytime always" (Octavio Paz, A Draft of Shadows).

From Carbonel, The King of the Cats by Barbara Sleigh and illustrated by V. H. Drummond.

We tracked down a temporal anomaly to the Camden, Arkansas courthouse, whose clock tower is hands-free.  We agree with Mark Bauer that "absence of data does not necessarily mean the absence of effect (which is listed as '—')."

From Salem's 1975 yearbook.

You've heard of the "sweep of time."  Here's what it looks like, and how the will of intelligent life can control the sweep of time.  From Salem's 1975 yearbook.  (Text from Time Dancer and the Potion of Invincibility by Robert William Hult.)

From Guilford's 1960 yearbook.

A yearbook dedicated to Mickey Mouse.  From the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle's 1960 yearbook.

There is a six-hour discrepancy at this clock tower in Scranton, Pennsylvania, documented by Scott Chenoweth.  Though we weren't on location to discover the exact cause of the timely weirdness, we offer this photo to help hone the insights of would-be investigators of temporal anomalies.  The more clocks one sees that are "on the fritz" (Fritz being the German clockmaker who first went "cuckoo"), the better attuned one will be to time warps in the wild.

We spotted a temporal anomaly in this clock tower from Toike Oike, 1965.  It's simultaneously 9:00 and 3:00.

Temporal anomaly investigator Michael Pereckas shares this photo from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  Of course the clock faces on the near tower don't agree, when the far tower broadcasts non-time in four directions.  What we see here is a mechanical attempt to average out temporal incertitude and arrive at equilibriality.

We spotted this temporal anomaly in Johnson C. Smith University's 1982 yearbook.

Here's how a clock tower can tell six times at once with only two hands.  From Elmhurst's 1943 yearbook.
