...where time begins, this day. Pretty touristy, but who cares. Kinda fascinating that not too long ago, mechanical, time did not exist. Tried taking a photo of the worlds first (practical) clock for ya Reva, but was nearly tackled, cameras and personnel were recording every ones move.
Principal meridian of 0 degrees, to which parallels for the civilized world begin. Greenwich was great. Only 350 years of mechanical time on our hands, then a couple hundred later scalps sent to wallpaper London.
New sense of why the Native American Indians were thought of being such heathens......Europeans are so bloody proper. Strip a Grizzly cub of its mother and innately he/she will know how to forage. Strip a European child of its mother and innately he/she will know where to place all 16 pieces of silverware and how the tie is knotted. Deeply inbred for thousands of years.
