-6 or -5 or some shit.

I know that the board time I've got set is an hour off from my computer time,
since the last timechange to daylight savings time or off daylight savings time
or whatever the fuck it was - which means it'll be correct in a couple months,
right ? So, like, why bother, amirite ?

I really don't give a damn, it ain't like I'm trading stocks on the Japanese market.

yeah same here, it's just outta plain curiosity, and because we converse at such huge distances(for me at least) just to get the grasp of who connect at what time...

I tried to tell him that Time is relative to my speed and that the faster I go the slower Time goes.

He didn't buy it.

What's with the anti-British comment regarding GMT - it was U.S President Arthur that called for the Conference that set up Greenwich as the Prime Meridian in the first place. If I remember rightly the vote was passed 25 to 1 with the bloody French abstaining - typical.
Freakzilla - "Apparently we can only aspire to be the 13th biggest Dune fan since we are not family or in the HLP."

Byron - "Are you trying to irk me?"

Pacific, fools.

No other time zone matters; as far as I'm concerned, that observatory in Greenwich should have been put in downtown L.A.
