Sure, 9:17 is correct. Depends on what part of what part of what planet you are on.

Doesn't work for Earth or Mars, but I never suspected CNN was part of this universe anyway.

All I’ve got here is bottled water. OMG, have we crashed yet? ;-)

C’mon, Curiosity, don’t kill the cat! (Kudos to the Freeper who did that play on words earlier in the thread!)
