OK, get this, I'm watching the US TV series "JAG" right now, if you've seen it you'll know that they flash up a time and location at the bottom left of the screen sometimes.. OK get this, I'm X Brit Army, and as far as all of NATO knows Zulu time is (for want of a better explination) the same as GMT, so anyway, these JAGs are in the US investigating somewhere at night, and it flashes up 23:20 Zulu and the location.. now, unless the world suddenly shifted it seems to me like something of a cockup here because it couldn't be nighttime anywhere in the USA when it's 23:20 Zulu.IP: Logged |

'PST' is the time zone. It's also the tax on it.IP: Logged |

hehe that is crazy, I never noticed that actually. I do think all people should adopt the 24 hour clock though.
This crap with AM/PM is so stupid. No more messing up your alarm cause you set it to 6pm instead of am. IP: Logged |
