Something odd happened...
I wear a watch that I love and I always leave it in the bathroom before retiring to my chamber
Anyhoo, one night a few weeks ago I left the watch where I usually did and then returned to it in the morning to find that it had been set back exactly 7 hours. I know this because I set my watch to the clocks at school and have the second ticker right on the mark. Needless to say it was very wierd and I am completely clueless as to how such a thing could occur. I don't think my family members could have done it, because it would have involved some pretty damn accurate timing and for a basic prank such as this one that seems to be a little much. The battery probably wouldn't have stopped, it works fine now and did then, haven't had any problems for months or years....
I just don't know. Who could fancy a suggestion?
-
hmm... this merits careful consideration..... most abnormal yes..uncomman certainly... bizarre even would not be too harsh...perplexing. you call your bedroom your chamber?

The chamber thing was a bit of a joke. Nevertheless, it was extremely odd. Could it have slipped through a wormhole....?
-
I think it's a little prank done by you sis
-
hmm.. galactic possibilities yes... a worm hole that's it.
btw..that's the first time i've heard anyone refer to their bedroom as 'my chamber.' pretty cool pollux.

You have been alien abducted and have spent some time in another timeframe. Go to a hypnotist to uncover the part you can't remember...
-
Would this be a cheap watch, or a (relatively) expensive watch? 'Cause I own a 10 dollar digital watch, and one time I looked at it and it had gone totally blank, like the battery had gone out, except that it was fairly new. I pushed a random button, and the time came back, only twelve minutes off. (I assumed that it had "gone out" for that amount of time.
So my answer is that maybe it just stopped in the middle of the night, for absolutely no reason, and then started 7 hours later before you looked at it next.
Not to say that I'm ruling out some sort of spacetime anomaly...
o.j.e.d.

Save the whales motherfucker
Maybe your watch was abducted by really lame or really bored aliens and put through anal probing...after hours of anal probing fun with the watch the aliens lost track of the time and realized that you were about to wake up so in a hurry they did what they could with the watch and ran. Did you notice any holes in the back of your watch?.....or maybe the watch travelled through a wormhole and bumped into a alien ship and then the aliens decided to anal probe the watch for some apparent reason. Maybe your watch is alive and is playing mind games with you like that Stephen king movie. I say search for more clues in your bathroom and your ...um..chamber....*laughs uncontrollably*...or maybe the watch skipped a few hours.
-
Are you sure it was your watch? Perhaps it was a mechanised doppelganger.
-
That happens to my alarm clock when the battery goes low, It'll stop for a few hours and then keep going as if nothing happened for days afterwards.

So dark the con of man
All these explanations are very very believeable, however I have came to the reasonable conclusion that it was you were knocked unconcious, and somehow the watch bent light around itself, and pushed gravity in front of itself, then as you lay unconcious time swirled in head of you for 7 hours... eaither that are the probing idea...

So dark the con of man
DCLXVI, I wasnt trying to be annoying, and what was the code thing you posted...well anyway, do you see green lines... and do you know how I did thatm if you do I would like to know as well, because I dont even know... I was just messing around with some HTML

None of these explanations will do. The battery is fine, and even if it did stop, the odds of it stopping at the exact same time are extremely low. The watch is a good one, presumably expensive. I got it from my grandfather a few years ago, it's a Seiko.
-
your grandfather gave it? methinks he might be the key to this puzzle..... i still haven't gotten over the chamber bit.

What's the matter with this thread? The text is unviewable , it's black, and there are bright thick green lines between every post.

I see the green lines but I can read it.

Sorry, I admit it, I snuck into your bathroom, took your watch on impulse, set it back seven hours, stripped down to my underwear and crawled unedr your bed.....

Guys...this isn't helping. Think about it. What happened with my watch was really really wierd and it makes no sense. It's kind of freaking me out.
