What better way to motivate your dev team to meet its deadline than with a public online countdown timer calibrated to the second? (And of course Flash is the preferred tool for this job!)

It would need some kind of shrubbery (obviously) and some kind of small animal (goes without saying) but the main point is the timer itself: counting down inexorably to the moment when the deadline goes whooshing past and… what? The counter goes negative? The tree dies? The bunny loses an ear? The developers’ bodies appear hanging from its boughs?
