It's all relative

[causticus]

People put a lot of signifigance on numbers, especially dates and times, but it's all a bunch of nonsense because numbers are an invention of the human mind and largely subjective. Calendars vary from culture to culture, hours and minutes could just as easily be flemings or cycles and grands. I had more to say on this, but I have work to do. Here are some interesting links.
