What a fine table you have laid before us here Charlie!
I've just gone through it again, and found that the clock reeled off a couple of hours in doing so, and very enjoyable hours I must say!!
Thank you for the amazement and entertainment .... most enjoyable!!!
On a side note, your Ball Drop accessory and the discussion around it, made me dig out my A&E video production of "Longitude" and watch it over a couple of nights. It is as I remembered it ... fascinating and most enjoyable!
