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

Interesting Fact:



On Wednesday of next week,

at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning,

the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.

That won't ever happen again.

That is interesting


How's you??

You know when someone has just too much time on their hands?

For the Japanese, the interesting time is 1 hour 59 minutes and 58 seconds later, at

06/05/04 03:02:01

That's extremely interesting AD

What are you doing on here? Haven't seen you for ages

I show up in odd places from time to time ;-D

I could've said anything on here - you never know who's watching and listening

Of course Jabs would tell me if I'd overstepped the mark

Careful...

As I said lol

Traveller in Time counting
"German (DIN) time 01:02:03 04/05/06

International (ISO) time 06/05/04 03:02:01

However brittish 01:02:03 is 16 hours after the japanese 01:02:03. Brittish 01:02:03 04/05/06 is 14 hours and 2 seconds after the japanese 06/05/04 03:02:01. "

Good grief - speaking of people with time on their hands!!

Apparently a lot of folks are rather worried about June 6th.

06/06/06. Take the zeros away & start thinking Aleister Crowley....

zdt

I saw that too.

People who are most worried are those whose predicted birth date for their baby is on that day - shades of Damien...

Whatever happened to all the kids born on 6th June 1906?

German mathematician, lemma of Zorn was born. No, don't ask me what a lemma is or what/who or where Zorn is.

Somebody will know i am sure.

zdt*"I am NOT a number, i am the daily lemma.I am zen; ignore the devil bit that follows.Ask Rosemary."

Now you come to mention it AD (nice to see you btw) - no - I'm not that old - not quite

Did someone mention Lemmings?

Nah, lemmings are easy, they are fluffy things who quite wisely leap off Norwegian cliffs when they run out of antidepressants & contraceptives. Very sensible approach i would say.

But i have failed to find out what a "lemma" is. Tried Google, wiki & Reverso translation. We will just have to Ask h2g2.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemma

It's related to dilemma - not knowing which lemma to choose, or being faced with lemmas of equal value which contradict or are contrary to one another.

So there!

Good grief!!!

I can't believe you're quoting from that wiki thingie - doesn't everyone make things up and post them on there as gospel??

I'm going to lie down in a darkened room...

But I already knew what it meant......they got it right.

Yes, best have a lie down...
