Reminds me (obviously) of The Clock - but with Twitter!

My theory that people tweet about sleep a lot when mentioning the specific time is because people are very unlikely to say "It's 4:21 AM! Time for another Golden Girls Marathon!" or "Wow, it 3:47 PM already!? Who's up for Chipotle?"

The Clock was so much more amazing than this stunt because of the sheer amount of work that went into making it. I can't imagine how long it took to get all those clips. Watching it when it was at MoMA was mesmerizing.
