"Every clock at GCT is set by an atomic clock at a naval observatory in Maryland, which makes the accurate to within one second every 1.4 million years."

"The top of the clock is an acorn; the Vanderbilt family symbol "From the acorn grows the mighty oak.""

"Each of the four clock faces is made from opalescent glass. Reports that they are made from opal and auction house estimates of value at $10-20M are considered an urban legend."

"Nice set up if you're on jury duty. No phones or cameras but you can bring an ipad/kindle/nexus and they have WiFi."

"Pay homage to the Mad King of Ditmars"

"Wait for it... "The next arriving train will be the first train to leave""
