Time is measured by nothing other than an imaginary clock.

dates and times are man made, but they are made to fit the solar year, so that we don't end up with snow and short nights in the middle of summer! It is why we have a leap day every 4 years. each year is about 365.25 days long, so by only having 365 days in a year, we 'gain' an extra quarter of a day every year, so a full day is stuck in every 4 years to compensate for it.
even after that, an extra second is occasionally stuck in once every few years to account for the gradually slowing rotation of the earth around the sun, although this is mostly to keep atomic clocks in time with UTC, rather than for any generally practical means.

A music streaming web site, approved by all 4 major record labels.. and its free. the catch? An advert every 4/5 songs .. something like that.

Highly recommended.

Can't sleep, so I thought I'd come on here and post something in purple.
Somehow, in the dreamlike state of insomnia I find myself in right now, it
seems to make sense. Probably in the same way that I am the Walrus made
sense at the time the Beatles wrote it.
Goo Goo G'Joop.
Take it away Yolkfolk!
{yolkfolk}:blink: - "I am the egg man...."
{yolkfolk}:dizzy: {dizzy}:cool: {yolkfolk}:puzzled: :girl: :x_x: {yolkfolk}:crazy: - "We are the egg men..."

it didn't. John Lennon actually said that he deliberately wrote it not to make sense. He was fed up with people trying to analyse the lyrics of their songs, and he actually said something like 'lets see the b*****ds analyse this!' {yolkfolk}:music:
And people claim they were superb song writers. :surprise:
they were! it's an amazing song!
{yolkfolk}:rofl:
I've just remembered something I used to do! When I was about 9 or 10, I used to draw new pretend Dizzy game covers on a4 paper, and stick them up on my bedroom wall! I've only just remembered I used to do that, wow I wonder if they are still somewhere at my moms? I made up titles and everything... I wonder if any would match the Dizzy fan-games?
Wow, I've just experienced Total Dizzy Recall!

Sounds better then what pictures i found last time i cleared a box of old school work and other junk. People being tortured as a result of me going to the 'torture chamber' in a wax museum and Willy wonka.
I really like eggs. I mean, I really really love them. They are my favourite food. Yes, even more than cheese. Of course, a cheese omelette is enough to send me into sixties-style animated psychedelic delirium. Especially with mushrooms, maybe a bit of ham... Yum yum.
But yeah, I love eggs. Fried, boiled, poached, scrambled, with a breakfast, on a sandwich, as an omelette, with mayonnaise, salad cream, brown sauce, ketchup, salt, pepper... Though not all condiments simultaneously of course.
They are soooo quick and easy to prepare, soooo tasty and make excellent energy food to boot.
Why am I telling you this?
Because I feel bad... I feel bad that my favourite computer game character of all time is an innocent adventuring egg! And I just find them so irresistible!
