Human Clock (Complete with Hands!)

Humanclock allows for anyone anywhere to set their time zone and view over 1100 pictures of people posing with one of the 1440 minutes available each day. On the geek side, their server is a Radio Shack 2.4mhz TRS-80 Model 100 portable running a port of Aache and PHP." Something seems extremely suspicious about that server ...

    Has anyone besides me looked at the source code for the page to find the image names..? Quote:
    Welcome to the source code for this page. Not much here.
    The picture filenames all took a one-way trip to MD5 city to mask their true identity (if that is what you were looking for).

    Since you are here though, we might as well tell you a joke since you took the time to look at the source code and you shouldn't have to close this window empty-handed.

  4. They are leasing the rights to 4:20!!! by pgpckt · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't believe this. For those of you who can't access the page because the poor TRS-80 couldn't handle it, these guys are leasing the rights to 4:20 am/pm! For the current bid price of $66, you can have your picture come up when it turns 4:20. See the auction at ebay

    All I get is a picture of a guy holding up a sign that says 12:00, then he takes it away, then he holds it back up again, then he takes it away again, then he...

  6. Martianclock.com coming REAL SOON by mfarah · · Score: 5, Funny
    Mr. Xxxx, the famous martian, tells me to relay this bit of information:

    We are inspired by this human clock thing, and will implement a clone ourselves.

    Look for martianclock.com, featuring pictures for all 24 hours and 37 minutes using photographs of live martians.

    Unlike humanclock.com, and due to the long distances involved, we'll be using a cluster of Commodore 64 and Atari 800XL machines to handle the web server(s).

    Hrm, I think the tape player ate the PHP tape. The site seems to be down.

    Time to pull it out and wind it with a pencil.

    From the site:

    On Tuesday the server went down for about 12 hours because the AA batteries in it died and I had to go out and buy new ones.

    And you think this thing can stand up to the usual slashdot-gangbang? Novel idea but you'd better invest in some real hardware if you're gonna put up Geeky cool content like this!
