The madcap Cockerel Clock at the junction of Vilniaus and Tilžės has for several decades been the traditional place in town for people, including lovers, to meet. In 2003, an act of inspiration and some spare cash led the local Municipality to modify the clock so that it now speaks. Spurting out regular messages, the clock now encourages people to come on a date in a plethora of languages including  English, German, French, Russian, Spanish, Esperanto, Hebrew, Swedish, Lithuanian and others.

• Vytenis - Siauliai 03 April 2010
  I don't see anything particularly wacky about it. Things like this one are normal features of the centre square in any ordinary European town (seeing Siauliai as an ordinary European town, that is). The only wacky thing may be the strange play on words: "gaidys" (Lithuanian for "cockerel") in the local slang is a word with not-so-nice connotations. You wouldn't like to call enyone by that name (not unlike the English word "cock") ;)
