National Debt Clock runs out of numbersFigure has ballooned to about $10.2 trillion; new clock will go up in 2009NEW YORK - A watched clock never moves — unless it's the National Debt Clock.In fact, the digital counter has been moving so much that it recently ran out of digits to display the ballooning figure: $10,150,603,734,720, or roughly $10.2 trillion, as of Saturday afternoon.The clock was put up by the late real estate mogul Seymour Durst in 1989 when the U.S. government's debt was a mere $2.7 trillion, and was even turned off during the 1990s when the debt decreased.check link for your sharehttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27150961

Ye gads! It's good I don't have a grandfather's clock that goes this high! The hands would probably spin like heliocopter blades!
