Failure mode

Upside down?

Global Warming ?:-)

OR: Clock is upside down ;-)

OR: Clock has a display mode for mirror-viewing, or display onto ceiling.

Too many Russian Ales at Zeitgeist yesterday? :-)

Like digital voltmeters the dot location is often selected by two bits, maybe one of them is stuck or a rubber contact has gone hi-Z. I had that on a new clock radio but fixing it took only 10 minutes versus 45 minutes to return it. Plus they'd have thrown it into the trash which goes against my grain and the way I was brought up. Archie Bunker's method would probably be a good whack onto the side to fix it.

The time is 9:16 and the clock's upside down. ;-P

Hey, maybe it wants to convey part of a biblical message:

Psalm 91:6 (New International Version)

nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.

Maybe the Star Date.

That, and the fact that I should have got my lazy butt off to work well before than.

Not just that you're late, and viewing it upside down, but that you're laying in bed face up, head tilted straight up at the clock on the headboard, which therefore appears upside down. ;-)

Clearly user error. No repair possible, scrap it and buy an new one.

It was designed by Jon Slaughter?

Mine does that quite often, even the right way up. It synchronises to a radio transmitter, but the clever people who programmed it just made it check that the parity was correct before setting the clock, and when picking up only interference, there is a 50% chance that the parity is right. Clever...

A PRAC is a dead fish.

Been sleeping with the fishes again ?:-)

Did your clock really indicate 91:6?

Oh dear, the singularity is spreading!
