Reset your clocks

Muslim scientists and clerics have called for the adoption of Mecca time to replace GMT, arguing that the Saudi city is the true centre of the Earth.

And here I thought the centre of the earth was the Inner Core. That big chunk of iron surrounded by the core, then the mantel, and all wrapped up by the crust. So much for all the science I was taught in school...

On a side note...

Toronto was heard snickering and will soon demand that Toronto Time replace Mecca time as everyone knows that Toronto is the centre of the UNIVERSE...

I always thought the Rossdale water treatment plant was the center... this load of crap fits right in....

Which load of crap AB? Mecca Time or Toronto Time?

I do believe you mean the Cloverbar waste treatment plant...that is were all the shit goes for clean up. Rossdale and E.L. Smith are fresh water intakes where water is treated for public use. Unfortunately I get to visit them all on a semi regular basis via work. Cloverbar is not so bad in the winter, but in the heat of summer, I can barely stop the gag reflex! Not a nice place...

oops... LOL... As for the time, can't we flush them both into that system...

Tim said...

Never a wasted day when you learn something AB... lol

As long as we don't have to flush twice. I can hardly afford the water bills as is!
