Welcome aboard and enjoy the experience.

hi.

*breathes in*

um the conspiracy... well its more a theory... im just not sure how to put it into good sounding words.
an idea i came across one day in english (more likely than not)
when the clock never seemed to reach the end of class...

~oh dear~ i just made a boo boo already...
i went to 'your space' and there was a convo. and its was bout eleven and six and i wrote a reply and clicked send then decided i wante dto add more so i hit stop. then adde dmore then clicked send. but it appears that i've put in two entries :S

on the upside... that *above will be smiley...

oh by the way. if this endless or pointless babaling is really boring slash anoying.. tell me. so ill shut up...

hmmm...

i think that is it... for now

*breathes out*

i didnt really explain the conspiricy did i?

here's what i've 'drafted'(?) so far...

School clocks.
They blatently say its 9 o'clock, when its clearly only 8:45 am.
And then when you know its 3:30 and time to get as far away from school as possible, they stubornly refuse to get to 3:30
Its like they go into whole new concept of time, the 3:30 asymptote.

what do reckon?

Hi again,

The conversation you posted to was for the H2IQ Quiz (A416783), which basically involves some sort of daily brain-teaser. Don't worry about "double posting" like you did; it happens to everyone, and not just people new to the site

About your conspiracy theory, some days do really seem to drag on forever at school. I usually have to consciously avoid looking at the clock, as that often makes it seem longer.

I noticed in one of your other conversations you said you're from Australia. You might want to check out this link -> A592049, which is the page listing other h2g2 Researchers from Australia and New Zealand.
