This completely missed the point of visiting Orloj. You don't go there to see the clock, you go there to see the animated skeleton.
Slovak 80s pop rock band Elan even made a song about her: https://youtu.be/1Gctnn-vCfM https://youtu.be/1Gctnn-vCfM
"Tourists, sparrows, school trips, orloj and apostles. Skeleton is standing on the side and everybody is afraid of her..."
- timeon 2y agoEww Elan. I hated that band all my childhood for the music but Lead vocalist Ráž who was voicing support for Mečiar, Fico, Castro, and Putin is not giving me enthusiasm even today.
- BossingAround 2y agoTrue. But, it's also a clock, which is presumably difficult to read, hence the simulation.
- Toutouxc 2y agoLiterally listened to it today in the car (I have a soft spot for Elán). Also, as someone who lives in Prague, I don’t really go anywhere near the clock. That’s tourist land. It doesn’t feel like home.
- mcepl 2y agoLived for some time five minutes walking from the Clock, and so I can heartily appreciate the old Prague joke: “Daddy, why they call it the tourist season, when we cannot shoot them?”
- 082349872349872 2y ago> [Smrtka] is standing on the side... I had a moment of cognitive dissonance when skimming through a recent russian WWII series about a group of (Yak-1?) pilots and the romances between them, for at one point there was a SmerSh (Smert Shpionen) agent, and —unlike in Bond flicks– he was a good guy. EDIT: looks like it was Истребители (2013).
