Yup, saw one of those Longinus sundials in a museum once. Man, musta been hard though, running around with one of those heavy things strapped on your wrist.And trying to keep it wound all the time too?

Btw, Brutus really was a backstabber.Who can forget all of the snide remarks he made about Longius? He said -- "Longinus? Now there's a dude that don't know whether to sh*t or wind his watch!".
