Big Ben Joins Twitter

I’ve seen a lot of strange Twitter accounts. Even one supposedly controlled by a blade of grass on a golf course. But this one really takes the biscuit. Someone has started a Twitter account for Big Ben. And I don’t mean Big Ben from down the street. I mean the gigantic tower in London with a big clock on it next to the House of Crooks (I mean parliament!).

Not surprisingly, Ben hasn’t really got a lot to say for himself. After all his sole existence for the past few hundred years has been to alert Londoners to the time of day. And of course his lack of opposable thumbs may be an issue. So his Tweets look a little something like this:

It appears as though Big Ben tweets his “Bong Bong Bong” on the hour every hour so all his fellow Twitter users know what time it is. What a gentlemen our Big Ben is.  Be sure to give him a follow to keep his spirits up during the cold London winter!
