What are 10 minutes earlier in "Pulp Fiction" than they are in the editorial of the Times in London?

Since all the clocks in Pulp Fiction are stuck at twenty past four, and I haven't got a copy of the Times to hand, my guess would be that their clock shows four thirty. So the answer would be clocks. Feb 24 05, 12:59 AM

Yay, Maggie and I don't know the significance of either. Does anyone else here? Feb 24 05, 12:39 PM

4:20 is a time of day at which many drug users choose to do their drugs. It's a long story, and something of an "inside joke". Here's the story at Snopes: http://www.snopes.com/language/stories/420.htm It's very cheesey, and the knowledge of its significance is something most young drug users seem to take pride in. One hopes that their pride in such an arbitrary bit of trivia wans as quickly as their interest in using those drugs. Of course, that wasn't the case with my ex. He didn't grow out of either. Note the ex. Feb 24 05, 2:09 PM

In many US TV commercials the clocks will be set at 10:10 because that makes a happy face... Feb 24 05, 4:36 PM

That ahould have been "Yay, Maggie! I don't know..." I seemed to be suggesting Maggie didnt know and she might have done. Ta for the extra info Loth. And yes, Buck, but are you sure they are not set to 1:50? Feb 24 05, 6:23 PM

Maggie didn't know - your suggestion was right, gmack. But being set at 4:20 they would have looked like sad faces, wouldn't they? Feb 24 05, 6:36 PM

I hesitate (new friends) to make pointed comments (4.20 sic) or that 1.50 and 10.10 are not identical, and can only wonder if the final edition of Times "runs off the presses" at 4.30 Feb 24 05, 6:53 PM
