U.S. refuses Taiwan request for new jets

True, but it would have to be moving.

Yes, but a clock that loses 30 minutes each hour is not the kind of clock I would consider not broken.  The parts may be rotating inside, but it's still broken.

We're also assuming that the clock is not moving.  If that broken clock is inside a spacecraft that moving close to the speed of light, then the whole math changes, if you consider time on earth to be the "correct time".

good point.

Why would you use the time from a different place than the clock is in?

I'd just like to put my hand in here and say that on the face of it, this is alarming.

The relationship between the hands on a clock isn't random.

On a broken clock it is.

We have moved from "stopped" (your word) to "broken," now?

Then I agree.  A broken clock may have no hands at all, or no face, or anything else one might fancy.

The expression doesn't refer to an actual clock, you know.

How often is a Dali clock right?

Once, and once only.

Once, and once only.

Are you sure it isn't right once a day?
