- Readers of Russian-language institutional satire
- Worth noticing
- Its rules call comparison with free phone clocks “treason against the traditions of chronometry.”
Field notes
The institution’s invented chronology ranges from a supposed 1889 refusal to provide a free calendar to a 2001 move of its date registry to a basement server. A rulebook, mock membership offers, and a displayed balance supply the operating details, while the named supporters include a “Keeper of Leap Years” and a “Baroness of Monday.” The page’s claims about access and payment are presented as part of the joke, not verified functionality.
