If you're here, and you know what this page is about, then I'm glad to see you've decided to play along. This
bomb

reach zero at exactly 13:45, as this seems like an appropriate time for most people to be in class. I think it works in all timezones, too, which would be a bonus.
One of my biggest concerns, however, is synchronization. It takes a lot to be more annoying than an unsynchronized prank. It's kind of like when you're ready for dinner, but dinner's not ready yet. Totally not cool. I've come up with a fix, though..
This
is a really simple file I wrote, which to my knowledge, only works for people running Windows. Right click it, and save it to your desktop or somewhere convenient, and then run it. Sorry to the non-Windows users. All it does is runs a file that anybody with Windows XP (or newer) has. It runs "w32tm /resync", which, if you're connected to the internet, (And I am assuming you are, since you're reading this..) will, after a few seconds, synchronze your computer's clock with the 'time server' run by Microsoft. Not only will you be sure to have an accurate computer time, but you'll be able to make sure you're calling at the right time.
If you don't trust that file, you can open it up with notepad, or wordpad, or any other basic text-editor, and you will see exactly what it's programmed to do. Just run the file mentioned above.
That said.. Happy calling!
