Truncated? I thought all elephants were trunkated (sorry :palm: ) One jumbo... two jumbo.... is a bit quicker, so that might work. Andy |

I had assumed this was an April 1st thing, but I see it isn't. :scratch: Unless it is, and it's just a week late - probably running on the wrong clock. In the spirit of ripping people off when decimalising, I can just see this being sold as "Only a 4 hour workday from now on!" - yeah, and the four .4s... a new work day = 9.2 old hrs, nice. --- Quote from: Lew_Merrick_PE on April 09, 2013, 12:32:06 AM ---One of the things not normally known is that all the honest diurnal cycle tests have shown that people actually do best with a 34-36 hour day. --- End quote --- Once upon a time, Lew, I'd have enthusiastically agreed with you. However, for some reason, I'm currently struggling to stay awake for a full 16 out of 24, I'd be hopeless on a 34 hour day now. 10 years ago, I'd have loved it. |
