Geeking Out with Google

To celebrate our 200th post, I decided to upload this picture of one of the coolest clocks I think I've ever seen.


I must admit that I was a bit confused by the "g" at first wondering how an acceleration of gravity of 32.2 feet per second squared had anything to do with the number 10. But then using what engineering has taught me over the last 5 years (quality education is what that is), I switched my brain over to SI units and rationalized that 9.81 m/s^2 rounded to the nearest whole number achieves the desired solution.
