Good luck for the End of the World Tomorrow Lunchtime (Central)

Just checked the calendar in the car and it reads Feb99th so just wanna wish you all the best for tomorrow. I have noticed that the calendar changes at 1pm Eastern so you Brits have got a bit more time whilst the Californians have 'til about 10am. Anyway enjoy it - I was gonna video the end of the world but I'm not sure I can be bothered. (Confused? See here and here and here ) <Enter stunningly witty and clever tagline here> Bazza

During leap years February is a little longer in South Korea

As I described in 2 Green Dots and 28 Green Bars my car has a little green clock. Well those cunning South Korean Hyundai engineers also put in a calendar. On the 12th of March my wife and I were driving back from dinner and she happened to notice the date that was being displayed on the calendar. Seems the Hyundai engineers may have missed something … Feb 29 + 12 = 41 so at least it is right! <Enter stunningly witty and clever tagline here> Bazza

My car has a little Green digital clock. My wife’s car has also got a little green digital clock. Both the clocks in both our cars are simple four digit displays and both of our clocks in both of our cars have an additional little green dot to indicate whether is am or pm. So what? I hear you ask. Well it occurred to me some time ago that while I did spend a lot of my years, prior to this year, whooping it up, partying and carrying on etc., I don't think I ever looked at a clock that showed four O'clock and thought to myself "Wait! Is it four in the morning or four in the afternoon?” More to the point, anyone so confused as to not know whether it is eight O'clock in the evening or eight O'clock in the morning probably shouldn't be driving a car. <Enter stunningly witty and clever tagline here> Bazza
