B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for December 21, 2011

Can anybody help me remove the author’s tongue from his cheek? Everybody knows that all days are 24 hours long all year, except in leap year.

That’s why I can come in late for work to make up for leaving early the day before.

Aaaah, now I know.

The time is in a lock box with the time changes .

Time is an illusion, based on ‘human’ constraints,qualia (representations).

My friend got married on the 21st. Because it had the longest night.

Who’s the dummy here?

Happy Solstice!

The only ones authorized to save daylight are the agents of the United States Daylight Depository, which operate a series of vaults outside Hawthorne, Nevada to store the saved daylight.

But like most government agencies, they don’t recirculate the stored daylight in the winter months when they could do us some good.

Join me in calling on Congress to release daylight from the Strategic Daylight Reserve in these dark times.

I don’t have time to weigh in to this.

This reminds me of my 5th grade teacher who told us that December 21 was the shortest day of the year but didn’t explain what she meant. I was seriously confused because she had already taught us that every day had 24 hours. She didn’t bother explaining. But that teacher made a lot of other mistakes, too.

I happen to think standard time is a waste of time. I’m for having some extra daylight to work with when I get home. It’s always dark when I go into work, whether DST or standard time, so save me that extra daylight for when I get home.

BC logic. I like it

You must understand that Peter has never been the sharpest tool in the shed.

I have no interest in Daylight Savings.

2011 solstice is tomorrow, Mastroianni needs to check his almanac. Happy solstice . . eve?

Today is my half Birthday…

I like it. The Strategic Daylight Reserve…that’s where it was supposed to come from the end of the tunnel, right?

I think Mastroianni and Hart mean ’ the shortest day of daylight…

This year, the shortest day is actually tomorrow.http://tinyurl.com/y9l887s

Dec. 21 has the fewest daylight hours – in the western hemisphere – and June 21, has the most. Thus, today is the shortest “day” and longest “night”..HOWEVER … in Australia – Perth for example – today, they will have nearly 12 full hours of sun (like we did on June 21, in Toronto, Canada.)

He might be speaking of sidereal time, which is approx. 23 hours, 56 min, and 4.1 seconds.

We are about done with the calendar this year anyway, go ahead and mess it up!

I tried to save time in a bottle and that didn’t work either.

I thought the shortest day was the 24 of Dec. .. when your trying to get that last minute shopping done

Does any one really know what time it is?

you scared the living daylight out of me

Lets be as BC should be and beat back the night! Everyone! Go Now! Outside! Burn your Fall leaves. Their sacrifice will beg the Sun to return. :)

I love the Winter Solstice! It’s my New Years , the days will begin to get longer. With in a few weeks I will see buds swell just a tiny bit on some of the hardier plants. It will still get colder but there is the promise of light and rebirth. Light a candle and sip a good dark ale. This year, Dec. 21st 2011 9:32 PST.

Time flies like the wind!

Fruit flies like the banana…

He is talking bout the amount of daylight!
