h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Have you got the time written down on a piece of paper?

<BB<

I tried - but it escaped me

Ooo, I wish I could afford a piece of paper with the time written on. Let me hold that piece of paper to my ear would you?

This piece of paper ain't going - its stopped!

I remember when I was very young (about four?) being puzzled when someone on the radio announced the time. I thought, by the time they've said what time it is, it will be a different time. My father explained to me that a minute was actually quite a long time, and even after they'd said the name of it, it would still be the same minute.

Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so.

*she said, munching on her sardine sandwiches*

It is always breakfast time... or lunchtime... somewhere.... useually, in fact, the somewhere where I am the ripley whos online isn't accurate, and isn't measuring who is online, and the pliney one, as far as I recall, only picks up those logged in, in the new pliney skins and I'm not here... right... you didn't see me....

When I check the "Who's Online" page now, I get:

0 hikers online

That's including me, apparently.

I knew I was a nobody but I had not expected that of you, Gnomon

I just cheated... and opened my PS in Pliney, and then came to this convo... then clicked on the who's online;

• tucuxii
• 2legs; 1sub 2collars, 2Dom[es]. Filthy funny and strange, apparently. partially badgered all corrupted.

There are a number of good time zone converters available.

www.timeanddate.com is a good one.

I keep a shortcut link on my desktop.

Also, a quick google search under >>> world time zone maps, images >>> will bring up a plethora of them.

I went on that website, said I was in Addis Ababa and it told me today was the 1st August 2014

Would a calendar converter help?

Like; www.fourmilab.ch

Or; www.calendar home.com

Yeep!

The space between calendar and home isn't supposed to be there.

Google keyboard textmess.

Everybody knows that today is 13.0.1.11.8

Here's the Mayan calendar converter:
