Have we considered submitting the amazingly erudite contributions of this newsgroup to one of the world's major universities for a higher doctorate. "By the authority vested in me, the Chancellor, I award you, S. Dial, the degree of Doctor of Apparent Time. And you can keep it." Or perhaps we deserve a coat of arms. How does "Sir Sun Dial" sound? A timely monarch might pronounce "Rise, Sir Sun Dial, (and also set)." But what defaces a heraldic shield to denote an elder sun? Isn't it a sort of crescent moon? Suggestions in blazon, preferably.
