True story~

I got a late start; I was born at 4:14pm.

No: Coffee came from Ethiopia. A shepherd noticed that his goats (or sheep?) were unusually active after eating the berries of the coffee plants.

I’m almost that way, I tend to want to stay up late and not want to get up in the morning, given time I tend to stay up all night and sleep in the early day. But when I spent time in Japan, (a 12 hour time shift for me) I was in perfect sync with the day/night there.

So are you saying I should walk around, upside down, on my hands?

Maybe she should think about night school.

Amen to that. I always say that if I had my druthers, I would get up every day right at the crack of noon.

Ever feel you were a brown shoe in a world of tuxedos?

Shepherds have sheep. Goatherds have goats. I have no idea where coffee comes from, nor do I care.

I don’t know if you’re joking, but if not, quick crash course: North and South hemispheres have opposite seasons, East and West hemispheres have opposite times of day.

Didn’t Calvin make an observation like this once?

My sister was born somewhere where no one ever goes to sleep.

Lol, yeah, regarding the southern hemisphere… if you feel you were born in the wrong north/south hemisphere, it must be because you act like it’s winter in the summer and it’s summer in the winter.

I have the same problem as her. I get sleepy at work, but when I go to bed at night, I sometimes can’t get to sleep, or will wake up and not be able to get back to sleep.

@Pelanhar. As a matter of fact, he did. http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1995/01/03

Clearly Paige is drinking WAY too much caffeinated drinks during the day for this to keep happening.

Spent all summer going vamp.

Europeans didn’t know that Indians invented our numbers (and the concept of zero), so they attributed them to the Arabs, who adopted them from their trade with India. "The Greek mathematician Diophantus has traditionally been known as the “father of algebra”, but in more recent times there is much debate over whether Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi deserves that title instead." You can learn a lot from Wikipedia. There’s a lot more to algebra than the quadratic equation.

Same here. For me, it is more that the sun bothers my eyes so much that I have to wear sunglasses everyday unless it very cloudy outside.

The realization that I am Paige Fox and Paige Fox is me.

Aye. Every day.

Welcome to my world.

That is similar to a calvin and hobbes comic!
