Might tell us somethin whether the 00:00 and the 1:47 come from the same maker or different ones. Also careful carryin it on the bus, my back complained all mornin at my son's place and that was just a dresser  Regards, Dennes s "the quiet gaps are where he speaks" - Dennes s, 2006 |

I am being serious for once, hear me out - if the 00:00 microwave and your 1:47 clock radio and Grace's kitchen microwave all have the SAME brand on the back plate then it is NOT coincidence, it is a LINE, a thread Gabriel pulled through the world like my babushka pulls thread through hem, you know??? And if they are different brands then the miracle is BIGGER because it crossed factories!!! EuroTrash wants his power cycle test, fine, but I want the BACK PLATES, plural, photographed, lined up next to each other like little metal witnesses on a kitchen table!!!

If it is the same sans-serif, we have crossed from coincidence into typographic conspiracy, Bitte.
