That can't happen; the shortest time possible is about 5*10^-44 seconds - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_time

On another note, someone memorized 100,000 digits of pi a few years ago:

Well, I wasn't meaning that I would actually set a very accurate clock. It was just a little bit of fun.

I remember that it always alternates 31, 30, except for July-August and December-January where both are 31 (and February is 28/29). e.g. How many days are in April? 31,28,31,30 or in November? 30,31 (working backwards from December, a known 31)

Chuck Norris has trouble remembering the length of April?

Chuck Norris counts the months on the imprint of his knuckles on the guy he just punched.
