Not true. There will still be 24hrs in the day that I die and there was 24hrs in the day that I was born.

A very good point.
What do you say to that Lavvy, eh.
Yeh, you can't say owt.

Fun fact...

There are only two days in your whole lifetime that are less than 24 hours long.

The day you are born, and the day you die.

There are two days every year that don't have exactly 24 hours in them. One has 25 hours and one has 23 hours.

The earth’s spin is irregular. Some days are longer than 24 hours and some are shorter. The accumulated difference is up to plus or minus 45 minutes. That is why time is designated Greenwich MEAN Time, ie noon is fixed by averaging.
In Norwich, however, it is still 1836.

6:36pm?

Time is a man-made concept. I can make of it what I want and I will always be right.

I think that's how this works, so therefore I am.

That's man-made time .. a fallible human concept. Nature has its own clock using the sun and the moon.


I trust nature.

In 1972, Stefano Mariottini, an engineer from Rome was snorkeling off the coast of Monasterace near Riace. He noticed a human hand sticking out of the sand and, believing that it was a corpse, he called the police.



A search followed... From the bottom of the Ionian Sea, two statues of "Warriors from Riace" were raised - ancient Greek bronze statues of the 5th century BC.

I don't think he's in the picture. He is (was?) a pharmacist, so I would expect him to be wearing a white laboratory jacket or coat, as modelled below by my young assistant...

Good because he's not wearing trunks.

That's probably why those two blokes are arresting him... I believe that public nudity is frowned on in Italy.

PS... It's purely coincidental that my young assistant modelling the laboratory jacket is also 'sans trunks' in that photo.

Very small dicks in those days.

I'd have been labelled a freak with mine.

British museums knocked all the pricks off the statues they purloined from Greece. Most people think those parts were lost naturally but the museums thought such things should not be seen by Victorian ladies and mutilated the pieces. The V&A apparently has a huge collection of penises. Why did they keep them?
