    One could easily make a crystal locked oscillator with a divider chain to give 60Hz - but do you really need it?

    Why not use your GPS as an accurate reference time clock?

    Because she'd go for eight days before you had to wind her up again?

    do you honestly have to wind up any female? I think the key would be lost on purpose, besides to repair a woman one would have to understand a womans workings and that my friend is..................


    How about an easy one like cold fusion?

    Mine been wound up today after I commented on her navigational skills. It's been a stony silence since we left Trivetts just after lunch.

    You know how many arguements have just not happened since I have bought a GPS.

    I now have to resort to wolf whistling at women to get a rise out of her.

    Works every time, if only I could get a clock at work so reliable.

    There is a problem with your scenerio, this would not be the perfect woman as you predict.



    Fine she would get on time for everything but she could also tell the difference in time with accuracy. This is advantagous if your a rodeo rider riding a wild bronco for 8 seconds, but not so, if your not in a rodeo rink at the time.
