random things that bug you, and you don't know why 15:07 - Dec 1 with 2849 viewschrismakin

mine, is a 'second'

When you look at a standard clock and see the second hand move round, how does it know exactly how long a second is, you know that little tick sound, tick, tick, tick

what defines the second, how did they know that 2 seconds wasn't the actual speed that a second should be

It gives the clock a pleasing symmetry; the first four numbers all feature I, the next four feature V, and the last four feature X.


Nah not having that logic. They should've considered that when they came up with the numerals. Don't start meddling to make it fit now sunshine, in the name of 'symmetry'.

Apparently some people are trying to get rid of Roman numerals.

I do know why it bugs me, but people who walk two or three abreast on a busy pavement.

If I were king of the world the pavements would be divided into lanes.


I would go further.

Fit them with indicators and brake lights.

In honour of leaving the EU we should come up with our own imperial measurements of time and insist on using them so that we have to convert with the rest of the world.

We could have a Lambert for a long period of time equal to something like 5.1 years.

Maybe a Robson for 10.3 years and a Ramsey for 49 years.

Then we could have 1.3 seconds to a Pennyfather.

Seconds are defined by....
One Elephant, Two Elephant, Three Elephant etc.

The fact that the person who invented seconds didn't know what an elephant was is mute.

On the same subject it annoys me that Roman numerals on clocks display 4 as IIII instead of IV.


That brings me to my favourite joke.

A Roman Centurian walks into a bar, sticks up to fingers and says "5 beers please"

Oh!

Delivery people who ring the doorbell AND bang on the door.

Pick ONE at first, then change.

If you assume the bell doesn’t work, try the knock first.
