Back when I got to play with on TRS-80's (oooh!) in high school,
one of the bugs we found was the ability to set the clock seconds 
field to >60.  When we did this it would while away happily running
to 70,80,90,:0,and so on... As I recall it finally flipped back when
it encountered the space in the character set.
