      You and I might buy a Rolex or an antique Carriage clock, if we had a Lottery win. Steve Bezos has other plans:

      A 500 foot tall clock that ticks once a year.

      Boys’ Toys of the other 00.1%.

        I love it.

        Really like the fact that it needs to be wound be normal people that visit. Could become a generational tradition.

          Have to admit Nolan, it is fascinating and I would love to see it when finished. Could be a great tourist attraction for 10,000 years: “Be there when it ticks!” Or “Come and wind it!” Fast Food stalls, Gift shops, admittance fees. Probably have a new town grow up around it. That Jeff Bezos is one seriously wealthy and weird dude.

          If it stays where it is and works for 10,000 years, what will future generations make of it? If the Yellowstone super – volcano doesn’t erupt and totally destroy most of America, that is. Or a choice of enemies does not nuke the States.

          Blimey, I’m supposed to be an optimist! ???
