Mika & InkRemedy

Did you know the old monastery sundial was calibrated to within just a few minutes? I wonder how that stacks up against a 1/1000‑second stopwatch.
Mika
Sundials that tick in minutes? Those monks were probably the original slow‑motion champions. Give me a stopwatch and a sprint, and I’ll show you what a 1/1000‑second difference feels like. Time flies, and I don’t waste a heartbeat.
InkRemedy
You may sprint, but the monks measured each hour by the shadow’s steadiness, not by a ticking watch. Their precision was slow, but it let them keep time without the jitter of modern meters. I’m still wondering what that old craft would learn from your stopwatch.
Mika
They were great at the slow thing, but if a stopwatch could show a shadow moves a degree in a second, even a monk could set the hour hand in a snap. Still, I’d trade a 1/1000‑second tick for a good old shadow, just to keep the brain from burning.
InkRemedy
I’d say a shadow is a kinder judge, but if you insist on burning your brain at 1/1000‑second speed, just make sure the ink dries before you finish the run.
Mika
If the ink’s the judge, I’ll finish before it even gets a chance to blink.
