Is this the same guy that caved in to the remote possibility of terrorism and canceled they Y2K festivities in Seattle? Not even caving into terrorism, or the threat of such. the REMOTE POSSIBILITY OF! In other parts of the world, the marketplace that is bombed tuesday is open for business on wednesday. So while the rest of the world celebrated in peace, Seattle sat it out. Man, the people should have risen up in protest over that one.

Same guy, or different guy?

The polar bears beat me every time at hockey.

My dad told me that their are two important lessons in life.

1. always keep your stick on the ice

2. If you don't shoot the puck your not going to score.

Not as good as the 3 Conan got but what can you do......

Yesterday I was at the Hockey Hall of Fame. Good fun that was. ( Have Relatives over from Ireland )

They call their pop ==== fizzy.

So their is a 4th name for pop/soda/coke debate.

On the metric time. It is made up. I hope. ( taken from Rick Mercer talks to Americans on This hour has 22 minutes ).

Must go now. Have a good day everyone.

Metric Time:

100 seconds in a minute
100 minutes in an hour
10 hours in a day

A metric second is 86.4% as long as a standard second. (100000 metric seconds vs. 86400 standard seconds in a day)

Now, if someone can come up with a metric Calendar....

That would be easy, as long as you don't get hung up on making it fit with the seasons and all that.

Edit: I just realized, Se4 DOES have a metric Calendar! Instead of twelve months in a year, we have ten turns in a year.

In Canada Glatic Standard Time stands for something else.

GST. or the Great Seperation Tax.

I always thought the 4th sign was when the leafs won the stanley cup or Kiddminster wins the F.A., League, and Euro's, or when the Bills win the SuperBowl.

Speaking of mindless rants...

A pet peeve of mine is.

People who call in request radio shows and request songs that are in heavy rotation.
