Everyone should take a snoot of your favorite snuff at 9:09, today, 9-09-09!!! A rare occurrence indeed!!!
And next year we will have 10-10-10, and then 11-11-11, then 12-12-12.
@ Filek sounds fine by me, the math all works out @cstokes4 Yeah, but there are only 12 of them. Rare no less.
I already did this in the last century. 
12 this century, 12 next century, 12 last century. The last event I was excited about was the turn of the century. And that’s only because it was, well, the turn of the century.
I missed it. Though I may have snuffed incidentally. This numbering system is arbitrary anyway. We need metric time.
_ An opening scene of Fritz Lang’s 1927 film Metropolis shows a metric clock with ten numbers instead of twelve, illustrating the improved efficiency of future industrial society. _
All you would need to do is change over to “Zulu” 00-24 hours. More accurate than metric time.
i made a metric clock, its very confusing though
@ cstokes4 it seems to me, the more industrial we get as a society, the less efficient we get.
That’s just a quote I yanked off of Wikipedia. I work in a factory and the only time we get less efficient is when engineers get involved.
Exactly
There was a Simpson’s episode where the Mayor resigns or something and the town charter says that the itellectuals have to run the city. The next scene shows them all at a meeting after they have imposed metric time. The Comic Book Guy looks at the clock and says something like, “80 Past 10 already… I’m late.” and runs off. I still laugh at that. Zulu aka GMT aka UTC time is crap. Its the same system witout 2 of each number. We use it all the time on ships. Its a slight improvement I guess, and I do keep my watch set to that. Bob just saw Metropolis. I’ve been wanting to see it too. Ok folks, I’m off for awhile. I’ll be back at about 70 o’clock.
@ Xander LMAO, see you at 70!!!
2012 is the last year anyway.
Right…
You never know… something has to happen sometime.
Yeah, just like it did in Y2K…
I mean really, someday, something could happen. Meteor, crust shift, virus, zombie plague.
Why would anyone worry about that crap? I saw an article on msn.com last week. It said “Will the Sun burn out soon?” I suddenly imagined some weak minded person sitting there sweating bullets because they now think the Sun is going to burn out tomorrow. So what if it does? What can you do about it? Nothing. Just like you can’t do anything about a meteor hitting Earth. It’s wasted energy. And all of this 2012 crap is just that… crap. Has anyone thought that maybe the Mayans stopped their calendar because they got tired of making a damn calendar? I don’t have a 2010 calendar, so does that mean that the Earth is going to explode in 2010? People fill their minds with such nonsense these days.
