You can't even get real drugs in this town!

That's a waste of a perfectly good white boy.

It's got raisins! You LIKE raisins!

Christmas! CHRISTMASSSSSS!!!!

(disclaimer---my wife is the real Better Off Dead fan, but I have seen it many times. She really can't understand why it hasn't come out on DVD. I, on the other hand, can.)

I was worried.

"Here's an unusual photo of the event - unusual because the time display shows the time in fractional MJD (Modified Julian Date). The date is 2002 20/02 and the time shows 20:02:20 UTC which is noon here in Seattle:

Although the 2002 20/02 20:02 is a triple palindrome observe that MJD 52325 is also a palindrome. Perhaps we should have celebrated at the double palindrome MJD 52325.52325 (which was earlier this morning at 12:33:29 UTC)."

After reading that I was horified thinking that this man was unstoppable, that there would be no end. Thankfuly I then read the following:

"he 1PPS output from the Trak 6460 could be used to generate a pulse at 22.002 milliseconds past 20:02:20 creating a quintuple palindrome 2002 20/02 20:02 :20.02 2002 -- but even I have my limits."

And I feel so much safer that even he knows he has limits. :)

On a more serious note...on the page with the atomic wristwatch it says that the atomic clock comes with a keypad to set the time. My question is how the hell do you set the time that accurately with a keypad. I'm mean, how fast can you hit the button?
