Threading a clock in Ruby.

=begin
Status - Bugged
I cannot even picture a solution in my mind. Not even close.
Maybe 'cause I'm new to threading.
=end
clock = Thread.new {
abort_on_exception = true

loop do
        hms_time = Time.now.strftime("%I:%M:%S")
        print "\rCurrent time - #{hms_time}"
        sleep 0.5
end

}

askname = Thread.new {
puts "\nWhat's your name?" #Trying to escape from \r with \n, Doesn't work. :\
name = gets.chomp
puts name + " is a nice name "
}

askname.join
clock.join
sleep
