Cool Google Trick

As I'm sure you already know, you can type this into a google search box:
time Minneapolis
and you can put lots of different words in there and get the time.
What you may not know is this. If you look at the page you get back, there is a little clock graphic next to the time. The time on the clock graphic is correct. Like this:

Googling weather Minneapolis (or wherever) works too.

I didn't know either the time or weather trick, and I thought I was OK at The Google!

Never again must I search for "world clock" before placing an international call.

I did not know that, thanks for the tip.

This will be much faster than using a world time website for figuring out when to place my next overseas call. I hate it when I go to call an overseas vendor or customer and after dialing realize I'm calling @ 2:00AM their time. Especially embarrassing when the overseas contact works from home and answers the phone with a sleepy voice.

Cool. I knew the time difference with China, but I could never remember whether it was forward or backward (even though I've been there 2x!).

There's a London in Arkansas? I didn't know that. Cool trick, thougt.

That is a very cool little touch. Sometimes I hate Google seeing as I work in internet marketing/SEO but they sure are handy. Been using the unit converter all the time since I started going to the gym, running, watching my diet, etc. Didn't know how dependent we were on it in my office till for some reason it went down yesterday and a colleague realised he didn't know how to check word spelling without it...
