well, as you can see in my screenshot above your posts are both "Yesterday xx:xx PM"... and 12 should come after 11.
Not worth picking up a fight on this

You know when you can’t quite work out whether someone is being humorous and ironical or in fact they just didn’t get it?

That!

12.04pm is 4 minutes after noon.
11.23 pm is coming up to midnight, so yes 11 comes after 12 on a 12 hour clock.

Flew from Auckland to Rarotonga once. Left NZ on a Wednesday and got to the Cook Islands on Tuesday the day before. Now that was proper clock confusion

If you go to the North or South Pole and keep circulating anticlockwise you won’t actually have been born after a while. Maybe it’s clockwise. Now I’m confused.

Won't you be getting older at one pole & younger at the other?

You’re right. I would have a bath and pull the plug to see which direction to set off.

That isn't going to work, your bathwater would have frozen.

Reminds me of that Riddle

You walk one mile south, one mile East and then one mile North and you are back where you started. Where are you?

Go on, I’ll walk into it. North Pole.

Apparently it goes straight down at the poles?

Doh.. that’s easy. Back where you started.

Sadly I'm guessing not.

Extract from Wiki:

"The characteristic defensive posture with frontal legs held high is an especially good indicator to confirm a specimen is Phoneutria,[4] especially alongside correct colour patterns. During the defensive display the body is lifted up into an erect position, the first two pairs of legs are lifted high (revealing the conspicuous black/light-banded pattern on the leg underside), while the spider sways from side to side with hind legs in a cocked position."

You just can't make this stuff up.......

I don't know. Knocking off those red wing mirrors would be a bonus.

New record (unverified) for the longest successful endurance swim across the English Channel.

The diagram below compares the fastest crossing (red 6h 55) with the second best endurance (green 28h 44) and the new (unverified) endurance record (purple 29h 04).

The effect of the tides on all three swimmers is obvious.

Which van is the biggest.

This is a single shot of the middle van. The first and third vans are copies of the middle van. The perspective of the road gives the illusion of them being different sizes, but they are all the same size.
