Re: Totally useless trivia fact...

I think Dave is right about 1006 for another reason.

I seem to remember that we did not have 24 hour days until mechanical clocks were invented? At first clocks only had hour hands.

Does anyone know off the top of their head? In what year was the 24 hour day instituted?

and when were minutes and seconds added to our time keeping?

Im thinking it was well after the year 1006.
