Monkey time explained.
Wondered what "UTC" meant? I did. "Coordinated Universal Time" didn't mean much to me, until I found this. The passage of time can be measured so accurately that the rotation of the earth can be seen to be variable. UTC allows these people to add leap seconds to our clocks.

I wanted GMT for the site but for some reason, ended up with UTC which is almost the same thing. Silly French people with their time-obsession.
-
Coordinated [i]Freedom[/i] Time.
-
...damn.
-
>>Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) which now leads us to yet another mystery, why Coordinated Universal Time isn't CUT
-
>>International Atomic Time (TAI) why not IAT? this is going to drive me bananas.

Temps Atomique International.

Well, the MoFi clock says it's set to UTC, but in fact it seems to be set to CET (Central European Time) which is UTC+1.

monkey time.
-
Hammer time!
-
Winchell-Mahoney Time!!
-
Time After Time. /in QUICKtime, yet.
-
Isn't it banana time yet?
-
That would be Peanut butter Jelly Time, beeswacky. (Problem is, whenever that's nearby to click, I find myself leaving it on in the background, which is very dangerous.)
-
It's Howdy Doody Time!

Well, Monkey Time use to be 1 hour ahead of me, now its 1 hour behind. Which kind of scares me. Maybe an evil pro-EU government conspiracy has secretly moved British Summer Time an extra hour ahead in a move towards greater European integration, and the only thing theyve over looked is special Monkey Time, highlighting this evil plot to me. Now, excuse me, I must rush into the streets to inform my fellow citizens of this nefarious plot.
