[quote="ktulu"]The SG will be trying to figure out what UTC or GMT is that they will walk away confused.
Darph, I'll pm you an explantion of what UTC/GMT is ]
Ktulu,
why do you even bother trying to educate darph? 
He's immensely happy & carefree under his mushroom. You really need to find an alternative hobby. ;)

[quote="ktulu"]If the person is not obviously a Brit, just say "Oh, that is in UTC (or GMT) and the time has already passed, sorry but you can no longer use this."

So what your saying is that unless it's written on the side of a beer bottle, or in one of the books that he is using to hold up the legs of his coffee (beer) table, he won't know what the heck you are talking about ?

However, I looked at the MDT, compared it to my watch, and they were saying the same thing. I asked what time the sign said and he replied the same time. I told him I must have gone through a time warp or something, because my watch said the same thing as the reader board. I even asked another guest and they said their watch said the same time. He still said that the clock was off by ten minutes.
I like our time warp theory.Of course you should have used military time,or explained Einstines theory of relativity.
"The clock is correct SG,it's just that we travel more west than east. Which means that we lose time more often than we gain it. Unless we cross the International date line then we lose a day"
(wait,if you travel west 'fast' enough,do you gain a day or live two yesterdays? maybe you 'lose' a day or live 2 tomorrows? my head hurts)

Didn't we (the board) discuss this in a thread before? Which would mean that if we did, matter can't occupy the same space in the same instance of time, so we make screw up the entire time-space continuum.

I guess I won't go into 32 bit IP addressing and subnetting then...

"Well, see, sir, the closer you travel to the speed of light, the slower time passes for you in comparison to the rest of the universe. These jets travel much, much faster than you, therefore your watch is behind compared to theirs. You obviously didn't take that into consideration when planning your arrival time at the gate."

Screw all this science stuff. Everyone knows that if you just fly opposite to the earths rotation fast enough, you will reverse its rotation, thereby reversing time. I saw it in a movie once, so it must be true! :p:
