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

I could use some.

Oh, I know it is likely to screw-up the planet's precarious ecological nature. But if, hypothetically speaking, it didn't, what would really happen?

Well, I figure we'd all die younger, and probably the economy would make it so that we worked longer hours, which would defeat the purpose really.
But it certainly would be nice to be able to have more of that precious invisible commodity of time. This, to do things outside of work, for myself, AND get enough sleep so that I can function the next day.

Not to mention that my sleep/wake schedule (hooray for working slightly flexible times!) seems to run on a 27 hour cycle, replenished by sleep on Sunday.

You're quite right.

Three extra hours will make ends meet. Personally I'll use them for . Then I will have a decent amount of sleep and still have time to do what I do every day.

But I expect, like you, that after a while w*rk or some similar will crave the extra hours. And where will we be then

I've made you a friend. I have read your entry and journal (and lurked in your conversations) and I'm interested in the topics you bring up. So there...

Oh go on, tell the truth! It's for the mead really, isn't it?

Actually, it is too sweet for my liking.

Or maybe I have tasted the wrong stuff. There are people who sell homemade mead at the summer markets in the small villages around here.

Home-made? Good grief, that's positively lethal!
( Well - I guess it depends on the maker... )

I've been on a homebrew mead tasting panel once (what a fun job!) and that involved tasting stuff ranging from the sublime (a six year old smokey marvel) to the ridiculous (vomit flavoured watery fizz!)

Well, I guess I must have the sweeter tooth, so you can drink the ales, okay?

As for a 27 hour day, I'm precisely 19 minutes away from ending another one. (yup, 3 a.m.!) I am a crazy mad foo'. Stupid computers..

Goodnight!
