So, forgive my ignorance, but does this mean that the next time 108 minutes have passed they will have to crawl down there and get the key because the computer broke or is it that the magnet is off for good.
Also, Des said that he was making 9 knots heading due west.
another point I just remembered is Des' girlfriend who had the guys gall her when the magnet went off, whigh supports that the world has, infact not ended.
