Drifting Cities, Old Chewing Gum, and Broken Clocks

Tweet

You probably would never have thought that there could be chewing gum that is over 9,000 years old. There were three wads of the old chewing gum found on Orust, a Swedish island. An interesting fact is that New York City drifts about one inch farther away from London each year. That only makes me wonder if airplane companies have to constantly change the amount they charge for tickets from NYC to London because of the change in distance. This one has me really baffled. Personally if I had a broken clock I would either see if it could be repaired or I would throw it away. However, supposedly a broken clock is right two times every day. OK so now if you have a broken clock you can keep looking at it to see if this fact is correct. Truthfully, the phrase "a broken clock is right twice a day" means that if a clock is stuck at a specific time, it will show the correct time twice in a 24-hour period. And for all of you who put up with all this here is a nice ditty Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor? Maybe a song you would like to sing @TheHorse
