    12:40 Unknown Symbols of Time

    .
    I am sticking this here as the source site contains has all sorts of political implications ... I just find the 12.40 intriguing.

    Do you remember the 20:20 rule? (that another way of seeing the 08:20 that used to be the norm before the '10:10 smiley' rule) - I am going to take this in the main Watch Forum as it coinsides with the IV-IIII debate currently making the news See under "IV-IIII".

    I think that Freemasons (the modern day Templars) would be more precise than that.

    There was an incident here on LI awhile ago where one of the local lodges added their own twist to one of the ceremonies (I'm not a Mason so I don't remember which one) where a lower rank was blindfolded and an upper rank fired a pistol loaded with blanks at him, well you gueessed right the gun was loaded with live ammo.

    As you recently said: just why do people think that all Americans are gun-happy ... (or thereabouts). :wink:

    Did I allegedly say something I shouldn't, or are you resisting saying something you shouldn't?

    Bah, these secret societies always lead to confusion :wink:

    We already have one. The actuall definition of a secret society is that it is a secret to you. All you have to do to be in-it is buy a watch from Time Factors and give reach-arounds. :lol: 8)

    Deliberately, probably. Why the hell would you add a mock execution to your ceremonies?!

    The first claim to fame as a distinct society (secret or not) within the Timefactors/TZ-UK realm must surely go to the "deci-tonner club" :P :wink:
