I'm surprised lawyers haven't converted to metric time. One would think they'd love to charge 100 minutes in an hour vs. the normal 60.
You probably irked a few Trekkies whose calendars are set to Stardate.
I think 3 kilohours is 3000 hours, a long wait to eat....lol
13 Months a year of exactly 4 weeks (28 days)
That's 364 days accounted for
So we add a new month to the calendar. Let's call it "Midsummer" and stick it in the middle of summer. That will be when most of us take our vacation. Northern Hemisphere summer. Sorry Australia...New Zealand, et al. Sucks being you guys but you are at the bottom of the world and so you take your vacation in mid-winter.
That leaves one extra day - two on leap year.
Call that extra day New Year's Day and it's a holiday for all. On leap year, we get to celebrate Leap Day as well over a two-day period. We get extra drunk those years.
Now we have a symmetrical calendar. The first of each month will always be on a Sunday. The second of each month will always be a Monday, and so on. New Year's Day and Leap Year Day are their own days.
I think that's the way to do it. Let's do it.
Definitely!
I would have preferred Wentworth, but that’s just me. ;’)
Now you have me confused. Exactly how many millifornights are in a kilofurlong?
April Fools Day.
Is it left or right handed?
It’s about frikin’ time we moved to metric time.
It is also a good time to tell everyone I saved $2500 on my health insurance premiums. Thanks Obamacare.
Seventy three centiscores and 42.8 gigahours ago our father brought forth...
Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m 1325 kilodays?
I ain’t got nothin but love girl, 76 hexahours a decaday....
You’re mixing units of time and length. A more appropriate question would be how many millifortnights in a nanocentury.
I understand that. Mixing metric units of mildly obscure time and metric units of mildly obscure length simply makes the concept even more delicious to my tastes.
And since most airlines (United at least) already display time in military time (I will NEVER call it metric time), I don’t see what the big deal is.
Works for.
will we be issued new Obama watches?
works for...me!
