Monday, January 24th to be Worst Day of the Year
RonMcMahon writes "Dr. Arnalls from Cardiff University has crunched the numbers and has precisely determined that Monday, January 24th will be the worst day of the year.
For those of you who might be wondering, the formula to use when deciding what day to stay in bed is 1/8W+(D-d) 3/8xTQ MxNA.
The fact that the 24th happens to land on a Monday is purely coincidental."
Slashdot will be turned over to michael so he can post all political stories filled with his editorials.
I think he's over by about 4 days.
I think he forgot that it's an inauguration year, and that GW won.
Don't think that a small group of dedicated individuals can't change the world. It's the only thing that ever has.
Then today would be the worst day of the year... -18 in one day, ouch...
My first son is due to be born on Monday.
I hop it's not turning out to be the worst day ever.

Looks like someone's got a case of the Mondays.
Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays...
The 24th is the worst day of the year.
I've just been on holiday to Australia for the last three weeks and Monday is when I go back to work.
Sigh...
My horoscope was very clear, I'm going to meet the woman of my life on Monday.

I suggest exercise, reading stuff OTHER than depression/illness related material (especially work related), and getting your ass outside.
Seems like you need to take your own advice, buddy. :P I've been seeing far too many posts by you lately.

Thanks... that long list of dead people cheered me right up.

Does this take into account those of us in the southern hemisphere
Does ANYTHING ever account for those of you in the southern hemisphere?
Where are you guys anyways?
94% of Repubs and 21% of Dems voted to renew the Patriot Act
> Why does the BBC continue to publish this drivel? This is about the 5th article where some git has come up with a "mathematical formula" for something which is complete drivel. First it was "the perfect joke", then "the perfect horror movie", and "the perfect family game", then I think we had "murphy's law".
Wonder when they'll get to "the perfect Slashdot post".

Argh! That's my birthday!
January 24th is my grandpa's birthday - and the 25th is my birthday! Yikes!

If you're not outraged, then you're not paying attention.

How do I use them on the actual news post?
Suddenly my 3:30pm urology appointment just got a little more scary.
I think he's over by about 4 days.
Nah, it just takes 4 days for the reality to set in.

That's not reality setting in, it's the hangover wearing off.
My advice: take another drink, it's going to be a long few years.
... they'll all be dupes.
Hemisphere?! No! You're one of THEM, aren't you? You were educated evil and stupid! Do you enjoy being stupid?
You misspelled "misspell."
Suppose if I stay in the US on Jan 24 and then cross the 180 line and spend Jan 24 on again, will I have two bad days?!
So *that's* why the flags were at half mast today..
Ah, but the day before Yom Kippur is absolutely bad ass. Have a bacon cheeseburger for lunch, get completely toasted in the evening, go to a brothel, snort coke, have sex with a sheep... and the next day, atone for it.
Bliss, I tell you.
