    I used to own a “Two Potato Clock” back when I was a kid. It would run on potatoes, oranges, even water. It was fun for about a week, or until the potatoes really began to stink.

    I think you’re right.
    Though, it’s bound to happen- what with all of neatorama’s new contributors and all.

    I used to have one of them, and recall them not being the most reliable time-telling device.

    This is a pretty old thing… I remember everyone had a fruit clock about eight years ago… In my experience they worked fairly well, especially with citrus fruits. At least until the acid from the fruit started to corrode the metal prongs.
