One time at work, I commented that a particular clock was off by several 
seconds.  I was told it couldn't be, because it derived it's time from 
the digital network clock.  What that person didn't realize was that the 
network clock (deverived from atomic standard via Loran C) only provided 
an extremely accurate time base, not clock time.  The clock itself was 
manually set.  So if it was set several seconds off, it would continue 
to precisely maintain that exact error.  ;-)
