| identical clock on the ground. This will be confirmed if the former
| clock is taken down and compared with the latter.

I often wonder, Pencho, if Dinky de Torquemada has any idea what a fumble
is. He certainly is getting desperate. Why would he highlight a well-known
magazine and call that a fumble?
