Monty Python Ministry of Silly Walks Clock

A Swedish woman named Susanne (not a witch), inspired by the Monty Python Ministry of Silly Walks Watch has taken it upon herself to create a larger version: Silly Walks Wall Clock. She provides complete instructions but it’s pretty basic stuff, just cut out a John Cleese silhouette and put it on a clock. Then watch as his legs go crazy silly around and around. Watching the clock has never been so entertaining.
