By the way, I fell into a trap the first time I wrote verb times. When I added data to database timedata, verb times began to misbehave. See if you can write a verb that correctly handles changes to the database. Your verb should not give an index error for an out of bounds index. It should instead treat the database as circular and keep going around the circle as dictated by the index.
