The following is an earthshaking fact which must be considered by those of us who have nothing much to do while staring out the window on a long-haul flight, when we know we should be doing something more to contribute to saving the planet: At three minutes and four seconds after 2 AM on the 6th of May this year, the time and date will be 02:03:04 05/06/07. This will never happen again. SnakeEyes >> Stay informed about: Something to ponder on a long-haul flight.

Hi SnakeEyes, I have an even better one for you: Pure oxygen is extremely flammable Pure hydrogen is also extremely flammable But when you combine the two, you have a liquid that puts fires out!

I recall when I was pure, I was extremely flammable (hot) as well. Combine lack of purity with time and a wife, and the fire goes out real fast : ) SE >> Stay informed about: Something to ponder on a long-haul flight.

Yesterday at 12:34 PM I was playing a game on the pc. Today at 12:34 PM I was playing the same game on the pc. Why is it I see 12:34 more often than 23:45?
