What time is it really?

[JTA]

ah - no !
the light of the sunset may have taken 8 minutes to get here, the sunset itself is a "local" event which is taking place 'as you see it'.

Often I have the rather strange ability to wake up at the precise time that I tell myself to do so just before going to sleep.

If that time coincides with the time I have set my alarm to, I wake up about one second before it goes off

Doesn't work after too much imbibing the night before though

I thought the body had a slower clock? A throwback to the time when the Earth rotated more quickly than nowadays.

Or so I seem to recall - could all be age induced false memories.

It's related to the perception that time 'flies' when you're having fun and that time seems to come to a standstill when you're waiting for something.

Basically, the more things you're doing, the less the brain is able to account for the passing of time.

How fun psychology is

It's always time for a beer.

Sure, as U don´t trawel too fast when U have a beer.

No need to risk a lost drop

I wonder who first set the time ?

A bartender ? It´s time Gents ?
