"You didn't buy a ticket for this ride, your parents signed you up for it"

Actually they were cheated. There is no absolute reference frame, so no way to tell how fast we are moving through space. Although it appears we are moving through space at about 600 kps relative to the cosmic microwave background, from our reference frame we are stationary.

What’s even stranger is that in Alaska, Friday, October 6, 1867 was followed by Friday, October 18, 1867; two Fridays in a row!

Every year, you have to work 4 months in order to pay Schumer, Pelosi, McCain, etc for the E-Ticket ride around the world.

[Verbosus]

That was due to the adjustment for the days between the Gregoria’s calendar and the Julian calendar.

[Verginius Rufus]

I think there were riots, or at least demonstrations, in England in 1752 by people demanding "Give us back our 11 days!"

Today is the anniversary of the day George Washington was born by the Gregorian calendar--February 22, 1732. By the calendar in use in Virginia when he was born, the date was February 11, 1731.

I despise... especially women who talk with their hands!! it is retarded. that said will continue on from :00:37 of the video...

[jdsteel]

Excellent video. Add to that the known science of multiple cycles of solar energy, and then remind me again about how a few additional millionths of a percentage of CO2 from human activity is going to inalterably change our global weather.
