You sure that's the right time?

The Doomsday Clock -- the famous symbol used by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists -- stands at seven minutes to midnight. The minute hand hasn't budged since 2002. Maybe it's stuck. Considering the not-so-secret plans to nuke Iran, I think midnight looks awfully damn close...

Speaking of clocks, there's one in Times Square that indicates the amount of the National Debt. It was put up in 1989.

It is expected to run out of digits in 2007.
