Rob Wilson counts seconds as one elephant, two elephants etc. He'd have to choose a smaller animal to maintain accuracy.

Hi
It seems to me that they missed a good oportunity to give us a 10 day week. I know that I could sure use the extra days to get more some work done. :lol: :lol: :lol:
As far as Rob goes, he will just have to use baby elephants. That should work fine for maintaining the accuracy desired. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Cheers :beer:

The kids can't read an analog clock, anyway, so what's the problem?

Be nice to Rob, we can give him a abacus :lol: :lol: :lol:

No joke. My senior thesis in physics (Western Washington State College, 1976) was to calculate the number, position, and duration of thrust to use Atlas V boosters to slow the Earth's rotation (with no more than a 1/4g impulse impact) to create the 28 hour day. 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. Were there an argument in favor for the extra-terrestrial development of humans, this is the most compelling argument I have seen.
