So, Sunday afternoon at tea-time? Not this coming Sunday, but the next.

I'll bring the scones.

Grabbed from wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-hour_clock)

The National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, states:

    To avoid confusion, the correct designation for twelve o'clock is 12 noon or 12 midnight. Alternatively, the twenty-four-hour-clock system may be used. The abbreviation a.m. stands for ante-meridiem (before the Sun has crossed the line) and p.m. for post-meridiem (after the Sun has crossed the line). At 12 noon the Sun is at its highest point in the sky and directly over the meridian. It is therefore neither "ante-" nor "post-".[9]


Since we're getting all technical here, 12 noon is neither A.M. or P.M. only when your sampling window becomes infinitesimally small. By the time you swing that slow meat of yours around to look at the clock, it's P.M.

Y'all been warned.

Bilanthri - If your slow meat is a bit slow, it is indeed 12:00:01 PM (or 12:00:00.001 PM), which is a correctly specified time. If your slow meat is fast, however, you might hit the late 11:59s, and still be in AM.

Various schedules which are posted using the rather archaic 12 hour systems often substitute 11:59AM (or 12:01 PM) for 12:00 ?M.

I will be there. Hopefully.

Yes, yes...my point is simply that you can play the fractional second game ad infinitum...time is analog, while the clock's representation of time is digital. Immediately after the infinitely brief moment at which the sun is in the middle of the sky, it becomes P.M.

It's not really a serious argument, rather an exploration of infinity.

Okay. I don't remember the last time there was more time-zone issues for an RPT. This is in Ten 60 minute long hours, from this point of time.

I still think the best closure you get in Armageddon is just moving on to the next character.

I want logs of this.

Thanks to everyone that came. That was a helluva event to handle, but I think it went well.
