Well, when you write it all down it does look a bit sinister.

Some stupid wrote that, why should I need 4 hours to eat a baby in the evening, and only 15 minutes in the morning? Aren't they the same type? Or size? Or sex? That might be, I need longer to eat a girl, usually...

And why should I wake up? Atheists never sleep! We don't light candles in the night, we like the darkness, hehe. And we pray to no one (except our wifes, don't tell that to my wife!).

Beside, some of the activities are quite ok, like listening to Ozzy in my car on the way to work (I love that!), or discussing world domination with satan over skype, yeah, that would be really interesting. In fact, I always wished to meet one of the two big guys, no mater which, I already planed what to tell them, for years...

My biggest problem was the last step: Pray to a dark lord. I mean don't the know what atheism means [I]at all[/I]?

The whole thing with Satan is also wrong. An atheist's world wouldn't have any devils or any gods.

[size=1][color=grey]Eating a baby is not rare at all. I eat babies quite often. And I suspect most of the users here also eat babies. Presumably we are supposed to assume human babies but there is no particular reason why that is a valid assumption.[/color][/size]

Especially when Those People wake up at Un-Godly hours!

7:06 (6:66) would be more suspicious. BTW, my microwave has no problem with times like 6:66. Demonic? Tin foil shields food from being affected. Hmm..

I suppose in the current milieu that sixes would be perceived as more deity-offensive. Our ancient, though digital, microwave will also accept numbers over 60, at least in the seconds field. (went and looked) It is only four digits, so the maximum time is 99' 99". It doesn't do whole degrees, as such. :smile:

EDIT: On the other hand, 8:80 AM could be seen as a devious way of confusing one's actual time of awakening.

In the early eighties I had a couple of roomates in a 3 bedroom apartment with one shared phone line. One roommate was worried about passing the number to a mother was that extremely focused on biblical arcana. The number was 316-6661.

We use to produce many different timers for German industrial market, and many years ago we were totally upset and confused about their preference for "centigraded time" (is this the right word?), i.e. 3.76 hours, meaning 3 hours and 76% from another hour. That is, the 0:01 hours is not one minute, but it is a 36 seconds time interval, only. They also did this with minutes and seconds. Well, 5.89 seconds is ok, but when you read 4:91 minutes... (yes, 0.01 minute not a second, it is only 0.6 seconds, like 2.65 minutes is 2 minutes and 39 seconds, and we had to do accurate timing of it when the 4-bit and 8-bit MCUs running at 32KHz crystal clocks were the only alternatives - [URL="https://www.kuebler.com/usa/prod-zlr-std-ele-141.html"]here [/URL]is one example using a ks57 4-bit MCU from Samsung, which I designed in ~2003).

We got used with it, in time (pun not intended). You may check if your oven is not based on the same idea. Have you ever measured the time with a stop watch?

Just guessing, but 'decimal time' or 'metric time'? 'Centigraded' gets the idea across, though.

No, no stopwatch checks. However, I worked for over twenty years watching digital darkroom timers count down seconds. Musically, I know pretty well what 60 bpm sounds like. I would not mistake 0.6 for 1.0 second. Put it another way, I know how a camera sounds on a 60[SUP]th[/SUP], 30[SUP]th[/SUP], 15[SUP]th[/SUP], etc of a second. :razz:
