A teacher asked her 5th grade history class, "When was Rome built?" ...

...and called on one of the boys to answer first. "Rome was built at night." was his answer.

"At night?" asked the teacher, holding her ruler firmly in her boney-knuckled hands. "How ever did you get such an idea?"

"Well," gulped the student, hoping his answer would satisfy her, "everyone knows Rome wasn't built in a day."

... and decided to throw their watches off the top, run down the stairs and try to catch them before they hit the ground.

The first tourist threw his watch but heard it crash before the had taken three steps.

The second threw his watch and made only tow steps before hearing his watch shatter.

The third tourist threw his watch off the tower, went down the stairs, bought a snack at a shop up the street and walked slowly back to to the tower in time to catch the watch."

How did you do that?" asked one of his friends.

"My watch is 30 minutes slow."
