While Daydreaming About Timepiece Inventors One O Clock

Who knows whence the measurement 
of time came about, though this chap 
proposes the following general happen
stance. Perhaps psalm body named Judas 
Priest arranged to congregate, but cohorts 
restless (sans Quiet Riot), did Accept 
a Mercyful Fate asper their Iron Maiden pact, 

but needed to reassure doubting Tom us 
(a petty detail), how to coordinate self 
anointed Black Sabbath. An Idol Billy 
Graham proposed a resolution (this 
coincidentally enough would be calculated, 
figured, and interpolated vis a vis 

to happen on New Years Eve circa 
unknown when. Some metal-heads 
put their Smashface together, and contrived 
a crude modus operandi, which in
vol vid each musician to crank up 
and amplify to the max his instrument of choice. 

No matter distance extant between 
closest and farthest member, would be 
barely faintly heard. The era re: these 
bit players didst dabble with primitive 

chronometers comprised hamlets a mere 
shouting distance apart. Once a quasi 
reliant (and affordable) methodology 
evolved, one singer songwriter 

upped the (space/time quantum theory) 
ante by conniving, fostering (the village 
people), inviting live onstage performances. 
Quite a bit of fancy free footloose gimcrackery 

reckoned to be sale-able to sell at audiences, 
thus drawing a Crowded House. None
the less, there remained the confounding, 
irksome, pesky quandary sans figuring precision 
concerning how to segment morning 
to night cycle. Perhaps the town nerd 
might own the (get) smarts to tinker 

satisfactorily until...PRESTO! The purported 
impossible mission solved with refinement 
propelling one geek after the other into 
the klieg lights if only for a blink of an eye!
