It's Mecca-Time

What'll those kooky Muslims think of next?

A giant new clock being built in the Islamic holy city of Mecca hopes to usurp the role of Greenwich Observatory, and aims to have the world's 1.5 billion Muslims setting their watches by its time.

Uh....good luck if you're a Muslim with keeping your job in the Central Time Zone....

Boss: Hey Rahib, it's 4pm. Where've you been all day?

Rahib: I'm on Mecca-time boss. It's only 8 in the morning.

Boss: You're fired, dumb-ass!

Heh heh!
