    The thing that always gets me about the Renaissance is Galileo:

    He did those experiments with things falling down? Measuring speed?

    Yeah. Without a clock.

    The theory for how to build those came later, based on what Galileo did.

      Man, being a cop must have sucked before they invented time.

      Officer: do you know how fast you were going?

      Lord: No, do you?

      Officers: grumbles you’re free to go.

      Carriage pulls away

      Officer ClocknTime: For now, for now.
