This reminds me of a joke.

A man is sitting at home when he hears a knock at the door. He opens the door and sees a snail on the porch. He picks up the snail and throws it as far as he can.

Three years later there’s a knock on the door. He opens it and sees the same snail.

The snail says: “What the fuck was that for"
:grin:

This type of timekeeping alarm candle became very popular during the time of King Alfred the Great of England.
