a friend asked me, "how much time does the Earth take for one rotation?" and i actually had to look up the books for this one.

23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds.

i think a lot of the trouble in this world is caused by the way we round up the time. see, if you add up 3 minutes, 56 seconds, over a month, it comes to well over an hour. we gradually grow out of tune with the natural rhythm of the cosmos.

its like living in a perpetual state of jet-lag.
