What passes as news.

This week one of the free newspapers here in Zürich ran a half a page story (complete with pictures) on how the clocks on the Fraumünster and St. Peter's Kirche were a whole one minute different!

This story was not even human interest- it was maybe 3 or 4 pages in to the paper, next to car accidents and other local news.

I just had to laugh. Of course church clocks being different from each other would be news here. Although I didn't understand enough German to figure out if one of them was actually the right time...
