What happens when the iPhone iPod stopwatch runs out of digits? This guy started his stopwatch 416 days ago and has let it run ever since (never turning off his phone or losing power once for over a year? Good lord). Predictably, the seconds turned into minutes, which turned into hours, which turned into 9999 hours at which point the digits seem to have nowhere to go — and then 59 minutes after that, he shot this video. What will happen?!

Well, watch the video and find out, you silly goose!
