Fight the Future by Andy Korzik
March 24th, 2008 5:05 PMI wanted a way to make time to go away for a long time, but so that it's not gone forever. Something that came to mind immediately was the ending of the movie Jumanji, where they throw the crazy board game into a river tied to some rocks so that nobody would ever find it(makes sense, it's an evil game). If time works just like Jumanji, nobody will find it for 20 years or so until some french kids find it washed up on a beach.
So first of all, I bought a clock. I looked around for a nice body of water, a lake or a river of some sort. I found a decent river with nice muddy water, but after thinking about it, I wasn't so sure. Even though it was for the greater good, it's still littering, and I didn't want to get in trouble before I got to do another task. Sadly, I had to go for the safer option: a swimming pool.
The cord of the clock was really convenient to tie it around something heavy, and I found a huge cement brick that had fallen off of a wall. I kicked the brick into the water, and the clock was gone. Sadly, swimming pools don't make things go away for a long time as much as a real body of water would, but I can just hope that nobody looks in the swimming pool for a couple years.
It's a clock
it's working. I want to stop that.
It's the pool.
making sure it sinks
It's goin' in
It's gone
It's down there

I agree with Kyle above me, the size difference is pretty comical. Yay Andy!
Awesome, I hope this task included cheesy gangster accents and movie lines!
Welcome to the game!
Haha, one of the things that was going through my mind as I dumped the block in is that I have watched too much Sopranos.
If you ask me, there are more ethical complications associated with purchasing brand new consumer electronics gear in order to destroy it for a task than there are with leaving a clock at the bottom of a river. But, I recognize that others might disagree.
In any event, an entertaining read.
Welcome to the game.
Neither exactly makes the inner environmentalist stand up and cheer. But then again, neither do all 800 polar flights a year. It's just one measly clock.
Excuse me, mister scienceguru, but we've been monitoring your activities for a while, and we'd like to submit that your comments are a lot of talk without a lot of walk.
Something we would know about.
Now, son, we're suggesting that you make your commentary a little more eh, constructive, or we'll be submitting that this collaborative production game isn't big enough for the the both of us. Understood, son?
Ha! When I saw the concrete block I laughed out loud!
Ethics and the environment! Cuz those urban pools are such pristine preserves of nature! Great commenting!
I like it. The size of the concrete block compared to the clock is awsome. I doubt anyone will bother removing it. Perhaps this means you have stoped time within the pool so by living in the pool you could have all the time you want, only problem is it's not easy to breathe under water although I'm sure you could make it work.
