Um, doesn't the millennium occur on the 31st of Dec of year 2000, 3000, etc? Whoops! See 3rd millennium. His clock is already off a full year. Falcanary 18:13, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
How do we know stonehenge wasnt built to be a clock? The whole idea is stupid, they probably wouldn't even recognise it as a clock in 10000 years. Crazy loon. Falcanary 18.35, 31 August 2138 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.27.173.76 ( talk) 23:57, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

many of the source links point to the long now foundation's own website. do those count as primary sources and thus shouldn't be used? Cliff ( talk) 03:35, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
