    And I find it easier to base time on things like the revolution of the Earth, and how long said planet takes to orbit its sun. Its no different than your base ten thing.

    On that note, base 1 would probably the easiest.

    Numbers would become a little bit big, though.

    "Nobunny knows Easter better than Hershey's" is just plain wrong.

    The Cadbury bunny shouldn't be forced into selling lesser candies, even if Hershey did buy them.

    Sure, Hershey's is crap, but Cadbury ain't all that.

    I'm defective, and I don't like them either. So yeah, he probably is.

    Couldn't we just slow down Earth's rotation and revolution around the Sun so that we'd get nice even numbers of seconds for both a day and a year?
    In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
    The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

    It takes 6-7 NYPD officers, and 3 police cars to arrest a guy for cracking a joke within earshot of a police officer...
    Anything that isn't wrong with that?

    He'd probably complain about the weather then, or our orbit not being circular enough. There is no making him happy.

    Now that is thinking outside the box. Yes, we could do that, in theory, at a god awful expense. And Loki is already bitching about the cost, so...

    Fucking insomnia...AGAIN! Here I sit, at 4:30 AM, wishing my bed would call my name! It is just being stubborn! lol This is the 4th night this week that I have still been wide awake at this silly time of day! Who the hell gets up deliberately at this time? This is insanity! Or maybe I'm just bitchy because sleep isn't coming my way!
    I don't have a problem with authority....I just don't like being told what to do!Remember, the toes you step on today may be attached to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow!RIP Fluffy! 01-07-09 I'm so sorry Fluffster! People who don't like cats were probably mice in an earlier life! My mind not only wanders, sometimes it leaves completely!The nice part about living in a small town: When you don't know what you're doing, someone else always does!

    I just overheard a part of a conversation our temporary housemate in Amsterdam had with his mother. They are seriously talking about whether or not he could be the victim of some dark magic. I kid you not.
    Congratulations America

    Well, it is a problem.
    The light that once I thought compassion still casting shadows in your action
    The words you shared were cold transactions that bring me to curse what you've done
    When you're up there absorbed in greatness with such success you've grown complacent
    I hope you scorch your many faces when you fly too close to the sun

    Yeah, no kidding.

    wait... was dark magic supposed to be more, or less, absurd than whatever it is you believe?

    How temporary is this guy? I'd be thinking about moving up the move out date.

    Do they fear it is vampiric in nature? Cause a copper penny under the tongue for a day would fix him right up
