Sometimes they have a party but not as good as the one at the equator. I remember the first time I had to update a file on a machine in Oz and it kept refusing to do it because it said it had a newer version than mine. Then the Ozzie admin reminded me that he was in my future... it took a moment, but I am an American and we really do believe our myths dominate all others. :-) We inform our myths and then our myths remind us of what we informed them. One can't fault the watch or the computer for being consistently consistent. The fault is in the mythmaker and the marketing of the myth. Party on, WWW. len -----Original Message----- From: John Cowan [mailto:jcowan@r...] "Bullard, Claude L (Len)" scripsit: > If time is a myth (what really happens > at the international dateline?), Why, nothing. It is only people who cross it who must adjust their watches and calendars. The Date Line itself has no actual existence even in the rarefied sense in which standards "exist"; it is the product of individual national decisions about time zones, and the only difference between the Date Line and any other time zone boundary is that the time difference is 24 hours rather than just one (or 1.5 or two). Which leads inexorably to the question: which are the northernmost, easternmost, southernmost, and westernmost U.S. states? If you know the answers, you know why it inexorably leads; otherwise not.
