I’ll be glad it’s 12:12:12 on 12/12/12

binary…also, it is veteran’s day. if you know a vet, buy them a drink.

I’ll be glad when it’s 12/13/12 (my birthday).

Cute one, Wolind Quark. 10 in binary or base 2 is 2. I know someone who didn’t understand how 1s and 0s could be interpreted to more than just two choices or values, until I explained that they’re allotted groups of eight, called bytes, which give you a lot more values (256).

It’s “terabyte”, and after that is petabyte. Just want everyone to have the same information…. Oh, and Quark, that joke is funny, but getting worn out.

The holiday period between Halloween and Christmas is especially hard on people who forget what number base they’re using because OCT 31=DEC 25.

Sheldons of the world unit !!!

The standard in almost all of the world is to put the units of time in decreasing order, just as we write numbers. I still remember fondly that wonderful day, 2001-10-02, the first palindrome day since 1380-08-31. There will never be another time like 1111-11-11 11:11:11, and I’ll bet nobody appreciated it at the time.

Yeah, well just think about the first Friday the 13th next year, people…

I’m glad to see “BC” writers Mastroianni and Hart haven’t forgotten … but nearly every cartoonist has decided their strips are too important for posting Remembrance/Armistice/Veterans Day accolades in. SHAME ON YOU BILL!

And I thought it was bad when Jason got on his siblings nerves.

it’s 2012, with the 20, so it’s ruined anyway

Anyone miss the days when Andy was the sane one?

HA, good one
