Perhaps, but...

Time has come today
Young hearts can go their way
Can’t put it off another day
I don’t care what others say
They say we don’t listen anyway

Meh. This theory has already been disproven. It fails when time is put in a bottle.

Why are musical geniuses so weird?

Becausr we, I mean they, have to strike a balance between mathematical exactitude and poetic emotionalism.

Also, my sister has a brilliant observation: God often gives people gifts, but then balances it with certain weaknesses. < p> I don’t know why.

Does anybody really know what time it is?

Anytime somebody tells you what time it is, they are either wrong when they start to tell you or they're wrong when they're done telling you.

Anytime you look at a clock, by the time your brain tells you what time it says it is wrong.

Perhaps ever knowing the exact time is impossible.

GPS systems ‘know’ what time it is, within the limits of how much silicon can know...

Does that mean I can strike out with 2 women at the same time in different parts of the same bar?

Is this a hypothetical, or are you trying to rationalize a particularly bad night that ended with simultaneous beer and vodka showers? LOL

It’s all a blur!!!

It could have been whiskey!!

And yeah I was hoping the quantum thing meant there could have been 2 of me.

I wanted to think one of me couldn’t do that twice in one night :)

So if a clock can move as if it was simultaneously travelling at two different speeds...

Does that mean I can strike out with 2 women at the same time in different parts of the same bar?

And if I make rude come ons, can I simultaneously have vodka AND beer thrown in my face in two different places at 2 different times by 2 different women in the same bar?

I had that same thing happen to me just last night.
