>> No. I don’t want my Sausage McMuffin to glow.

Hey, look on the bright side (no pun intended).

You won’t have to put the part you can’t finish in the fridge. You can just leave it laying around — no bacteria to spoil it.

When you find that half-eaten sausage mcmuffin on the dashboard of your car a week later, you don’t have to throw it out, you can FINISH it! Mmmmmmm...

That means it’s about 6:39 April 21, 1600, if we’re using Muslim time.

You are assuming that there are EVER leftovers from my Sausage McMuffin. That is NEVER the case.

However, there is always such a smelly mess on my arm when the tail of the camel on my Mecca watch is held straight up...

I have no problem whatsoever with this.
The maggots can have their own time any time they want.

Won't affect me one iota.

In fact they can change it once a week. A different "holy" place each week as "zero" hour.

That ought to really improve their quality of life.

Muslim scientists and clerics have called for the adoption of Mecca time to replace GMT, arguing that the Saudi city is the true centre of the Earth.

*************************************************

Daniel 7: 24 The ten horns are ten kings Who shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first ones, And shall subdue three kings. 25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law.

Islamic Checklist:
(1) Change GMT time to Mecca time.
(2) Change world and national law to Sharia law.

if we move the Prime Meridian to Mecca, which is about 40 degrees east of Greenwich, England; Alaska WILL be on BOTH sides of the International Date Line {180 degrees from Mecca} Every textbook and Atlas becomes obsolete. Yet our Teachers Unions & their members won’t make more money.
