life clock Explanation: How about the simplest expression? I found different interesting texts about just life/death clock. As they nowadays really exist, those life/death clocks, and they are intended to remind everybody how short the human life is. Isn't that exciting? I mean the next paragraph. First, the clock: The Sharper Image Catalog is offering a Personal Life Clock. It counts down what's left of your statistical average lifetime. That comes to 683,280 hours. The clock diplays the remainder to the nearest minutes and seconds. Meanwhile, inspirational messages pop up to spur you on. The thing reminds me of a Colonial American hymn I once heard: Thy precious time misspent, Redeem, Each present day thy last esteem.
