Do inanimate objects have a collective consciousness?

Do you believe that inanimate objects (like watches) have a collective consciousness when they reside within close proximity of each other?  

If  you don't, can you please explain how it is possible that not one of these watches is operational today.  Each and every battery dead.   I left them out by the bathroom sink this morning in the hope that someone see's them and takes a hint.

Carol, I think he missed the hint, now had you of thought of flying to the moon and back ,you could of achieved that in no time....lol .......you do know that assumption will get you nowhere ....ah you go one too....lol

Not only do they have a collective consciousness, they also apparently have relatives! I believe.

Funny how they all seem to have died at the same time...

It’s really strange that all the watches stopped working at the same time.

Gurl! itsa gonna cost you a pretty penny to get the batteries changed in all of those at one time. I'm betting close to a hundred dollars. And I agree with previous commenters-you got something way weirder than the collective conscious of inanimate objects going on here. Magnetic flux inversion perhaps? Sudden igneous upthrust?

This phenomenon is closely related to the sunspots/northern lights. Or maybe you have slipped into the 4th dimension....uh-oh! Your time is running out! :-)
