:I wrote to the Rosetta Project around December 02, to invite them to write an article on their project. They submitted a copy of their site's info text- I had mentioned the GDFL, so presumably they know what they are doing. Since they are also a part of the Long Now project, maybe the same person contributed about the clock- it's a fair assssumption. --Tarquin 20:38 Mar 15, 2003 (UTC)

thread_title: Flawed clock

message: How do we know stonehenge wasnt built to be a clock?  The whole idea is stupid, they probably wouldn't even recognise it as a clock in 10000 years.  Crazy loon.

replies: text: The fact that the little digit thingy on the front changes every day, and that the stars on the dial rotate suspiciously like the stars in the sky, MAY be a SLIGHT tip-off to the people of the future that this is a clock. -173.73.118.78 (talk) 00:21, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
