I know! If it were the other way arround, it would be very hard to tell the minutes accuratelly. Since it's easer to spot between which 2 hours one of the hands is, than it is to spot which minute its pointing at, we use the small hand for the hour!
.
You get me?

Because the minute hand does all the work ,whilst the hour hand is sat on its fat a*se being pushed around by the minute hand and doesn't deserve to be bigger, does it!!!!

Are the seconds longer than the minutes? Accuracy is the key word

Because "hour" is a shorter word than "minute." That way you can distinguish the two.

BECAUSE A HOUR IS 60 TIMES THAN A MINUTE.
