Perhaps Goff should take a tip from Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen, whose small hand measurement at the Senior Bowl compelled him to increase his hand size through massage therapy. North Dakota State's Carson Wentz, another of the draft's top QBs, measured with 10-inch hands on Thursday. The benchmark for adequacy when it comes to hand size for NFL quarterbacks, though different clubs have different opinions, is said to be in the 9-inch range.
Bell Tower and Astronomical Clock (Orologio Astronomico) One of Messinaâs main draws is its cathedral, which houses its own campanile, or bell tower. The 200-foot tower was built in the late 16th century, destroyed after an 18th-century earthquake and rebuilt in 1908. In 1933, an astronomical clock was installed at the top of the tower, and it remains one of the largest such clocks in the world. The clock's show happens at noon each day, when bells begin to chime, a lion roars, a rooster crows, and a procession of golden statues circles atop the tower.
The most sophisticated candle clocks known to date, however, were those of Al-Jazari in 1206. It included a dial to display the time and, for the first time, employed a bayonet fitting, a fastening mechanism still used in modern times.
