Even a stopped clock gives the right time twice a day.
- PAPPPmAc 3y agoIt is very likely the comment I'm replying to is not being obnoxious, but making a very deep cut reference to Orbital's song "Planet of the Shapes" from orbital2 that contains sample of the phrase in their comment, sampled from the movie "Withnail and I." It might also be a commentary on The Guardian, but the wording is too specific. (Sorry if I've spoiled your fun by clarifying, it was flagged when I read it, and shook loose a decades-old memory.)
- dylan604 3y agoWe could have an absolute field day with samples, but it will get downvoted and flagged because this isn't reddit. I'll start: Whatever happens, will happen again. It twists in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop.

- throwway120385 3y agoYeah, that sample is stuck in my head many years later.
- ipsin 3y agoMy mondegreen for this is "Even a stuffed croc tells the right time twice a day" (which, if you look at its jaws...) I think my favorite Orbital jam is Impact USA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLaBPq-Krlk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLaBPq-Krlk
