The Life Clock

The Life Clock is the creation of artist Bertrand Planes. Each number represents a year of your life. It assumes that you're not going to live past 84. After that, you're evidently on borrowed time.

I think the numbers should be spaced to reflect the subjective experience of time -- with the first half of the clock going from 0 to 21, and all the remaining years crammed into the second half. (Thanks, Sandy!)

Whew! Glad to know I'm not out of time... yet!

Sweet, I have at least another 62 years, or about 8 3/4 hours, left to live!

This thing takes clock watching to a whole new level!

I guess the gag gift would be one that only goes up to 40 or so?

Or maybe as a gag it could include another circle of numbers that decrease in clock-wise order to represent the numbers of friends who have died before you.

I guess I'm ok since 30 isn't even at the half-way point yet...

KW - It'll be here before you realize it.

Now that's just plain depressing. I didn't need to see that it's night time for me. "Hey! It's 70 o'clock. Do you know where your future is?"
