Well, it was Shadow that mentioned it, and not Wednesday. But it's one of those things I heard about growing up, and for the most part, it's true.

I'll be damned if I know why.

You're right. And I'm sure Wednesday really does know why that happens, but I guess it's just meant not to be known why.

Maybe it's the clock god or something. Or awkward silence god, perhaps.

Or you can try asking Neil.

I remember reading in some trivia book that when there's a silence at twenty past or twenty to the hour, it's Abraham Lincoln's ghost passing through the room.

EDIT: Here's a link that will help explain those sudden silences.
