The Life Clock

Remember back to 1999 when those 'countdown to the new millenium' clocks were all the rage? My local post office had one. They people that worked there told me that customers complained about it. It made them feel ooky. Well, if that made them feel weird, then this Life Clock would put them over the edge. Yes, it actually count downs your life--up to 84 years. Think about that for a second. If you got it for yourself and say you're 42, you'll have to set the clock accordingly, which means half of it will be used up. Scary, huh? Now think about getting one for your brand new baby. Sure, you'll start at 0, but what a macabre reminder of the inevitable. Okay, I gotta stop talking about it. It's making me feel ooky.
