• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did people refer to clockwise movement before the invention of the clock?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I somehow read this comment in the voice of the cleric performing the “mawwiage” ceremony in Princess Bride.

  Cleric: “Sunwise…” long, uncomfortable pause. “And for the exact same weason.” Pause. “Clocks go clockwise because their pwedecessors did… and what were their pwedecessors?”

  Humperdink: “Look, can we hurry this up?”

  Cleric: “Sundials.”

  Humperdink: “Just skip to the end!”

  Cleric: “Countewclockwise… as said in another comment… would be… widdershins.”
