Should I transition to 'Metric Time'?

[Hugin]

My official time piece seems to think so... I guess I should go with it.

When I went to reset my Complementary Smithsonian Subscription Gift Clock© for
the time change... It went nuts.

Now, I have twelve 100 minute hours.

1. Well, geeze...

Anyway, now nobody can wonder where I am at 10: 77 o'clock.

2. Damned Jacobin clocks!

(Never knew my birthday was consecrated to oat grass on the French Republican calendar. Huzzah!:))

4. I was aware of Buck Roger's attempt to move to the 'Apollo Calendar'...

In late 1968... But, I must admit I wasn't aware of the 'French Republican Calendar'.

I notice there's still a 12 clock in the background of the 10 hour clocks displayed
on the wiki page.

I guess they realized the transition was going to take some 'time'.

Get it? TIME!!!!

:rofl:

uh.

:)

I guess you had to be there.

5. My birthday is Donkey Day!

:woohoo:

They got that one correct at least!

:D

6. Maybe we should tell NY99 about this; give the birthday threads a new wrinkle

Happy birthday Prag and happy Donkey Day! Happy birthday UDL and happy Oatgrass Day!

Edit: Christmas is Dog Day; my brother's birthday is Topsoil Day; but December 28 takes the biscuit I think: Manure Day.

3. I don't know anything about alternative time, but...

I remember this one guy on The Daily Show several years back who claimed he could replace most units of length, mass, and time with a single convoluted unit called the "Robert."
