FOXnews - London’s Big Ben Mysteriously Stops Ticking

LONDON — Big Ben, the landmark London clock renowned for its accuracy and chimes, stopped ticking for 90 minutes, an engineer said Saturday.

There has been speculation a recent spell of hot weather may have been to blame. Temperatures in London reached 90 Saturday, and forecasters called it England’s hottest day in May since 1953.

Big Ben, which is operated by the Palace of Westminster, survived attacks by German Luftwaffe bombers during World War II, continuing to mark the time to within 1 1/2 seconds of Greenwich Mean Time.

I blame the European Constitution. It survived an attempted German invasion but now it sees what’s now on the horizon. Beware! Beware ye fools!
