I agree with Calendar Man on this one.

Me too.  I've also seen them with one eyehole being the 0, and another cut right through the 23.

Things have changed drastically since I went to Navy Boot Camp in 1975.

Maybe I'm a glutton - I rather enjoyed the abuse.  Okay not at the time but later.

1824, Joseph Fourier calculated that an Earth-sized planet, at our distance from the Sun, ought to be much colder. He suggested something in the atmosphere must be acting like an insulating blanket. In 1856, Eunice Foote discovered that blanket, showing that carbon dioxide and water vapor in Earth's atmosphere trap escaping infrared (heat) radiation.

1860s, physicist John Tyndall recognized Earth's natural greenhouse effect and suggested that slight changes in the atmospheric composition could bring about climatic variations.

1896, a seminal paper by Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius first predicted that changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels could substantially alter the surface temperature through the greenhouse effect.

1938, Guy Callendar connected carbon dioxide increases in Earth’s atmosphere to global warming.
1941, Milutin Milankovic linked ice ages to Earth’s orbital characteristics.

Gilbert Plass formulated the Carbon Dioxide Theory of Climate Change in 1956.

720 million years ago, during the Cryogenian Era, planet Earth was completely frozen and 99% of all life disappeared with the exception of a few hardy microbes that adjusted to the change. It was caused by plate tectonics which created a super continent, and the ocean currents were stopped. If you wonder why London has more moderate weather than New York even though geographically it is closer to the North pole, it is thanks to the Gulf Stream which brings warm water from the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean up to the British Isles completely bypassing the Northeast USA. And then there was an era of huge volcanic activity due to the break of the super continent by plate tectonics which raised Carbon Dioxide levels three times higher than now and warmed the planet. The point I'm making is that Mother Nature can fouled her own home and man is not necessary to do it.

Good point.  This time however, I don’t believe there have been an unusual natural event.  However, there has been an incredible amount of carbon dumped into the atmosphere from human activities.  Sometimes the answer is as plain as the nose on your face.  Ignore it at our peril.  This is not a fringe-science explanation.  Today, it’s mainstream.

Have you taken The Pledge?

The Alcohol Professor Responsible Day Drinking Manifesto

We believe that a drink or two during the day can be a thoroughly enjoyable experience and that balance is everything. We discourage drinking to excess and support anyone who chooses to stay sober for any reason or no reason at all. We especially appreciate those designated drivers keeping us safe.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that staying hydrated is a good thing, that fizzy drinks, session beers, and NA cocktails or mocktails are go-to day drinkign options, that keeping cool means indulging in cool climate low alcohol wines and that eating something with your tipple is always smart.

Holy crap, I never thought one of those things really existed!  Nice find, Shadowmuse!

That's amazing!  And I consider that one extremely reasonable price!
