CleverClock is probably the only artificially intelligent clock/calandar available anywhere. It tells the time as a constantly changing smooth-scrolling written English phrase. CleverClock also creates interesting date and time statistics, quotes, jokes, knows about time zones and week numbers, knows about special dates, knows about seasons, visually chimes the hour and the 15 minute marks, knows some key astonomical facts, and about a dozen more items of interest. You might consider it to be a Windows desktop toy or a thinking man's deskmate / screenmate. It's certainly a source of interesting facts and a conversation piece. Options include three display sizes, start with windows and always on top. Requires Visual Basic 6 runtimes. Never expires, nags or advertises. Has attitude.
