Firefox Extension - Fuzzy Time

One of the fantastic and simple to appear extension to firefox that I found is the Fuzzy Time. I would love many such clocks are available that tells you time like this.

It has three levels of fuzziness - Fuzzy, Very Fuzzy & Extremely Fuzzy. Want some sample time it says? Say the time is 1:41PM ... it says

2. Half past One (Very Fuzzy)
3. Early Afternoon (Extremely Fuzzy)

Nice is itn't?
