  • Sunday through Thursday, I do live the same day over and over. The only difference is what my Beagle puppy has decided to tear up that day.

    • How did you manage to get Fri and Sat off working in a bar? Those were always the required work days when I was a bouncer.

    • Shades of "Groundhog Day"?
      The rest of your life is spent repeating the same day over and over.

    • When are you going to do that? The longer you wait to do it, the longer it will take you. I've noticed the same thing with raking leaves in the fall.

  • They're concerning themselves with what will happen a billion years from now, and we're supposed to believe what they say?
    After they've done so well with their "theories" about the creation, I doubt they can figure out what they're having for breakfast tomorrow!

  • If they want to study the affects of slowing or stopped time, they should just come to my job for eight hours. They'd probably discover some kind of breakthrough, because it's amazing how slow that time goes!

  • Well we won't have to worry about global warming now. I'm sure Gore and the UN will soon want a time credit scheme going.

    • "First" doesn't have meaning until the moment time exists, and since they arrive simultaneously the answer is time. Plus I know this from experience with my own big bangs.

  • Now we know the exact date separation would occur if you promise someone that "I'll be with you till the end of time" - or 1 billion years which ever comes first."
