Spunky | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 11:45 am     My head is spinning.. Jack and Erika are putting their heads together and around around they go... Justin has to go but need to make a deal with Robert.. Wait till after the VETO.. At least there is no swearing... It's going to be a decent negotiation...at least when Jack and Erika are the negotiators... meanwhile the others will swear non stop... Anyway, it's obvious - Justin and Robert. |
Xarph | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 12:10 pm     Note to Mods: Please change the title of this thread. There are only 12 months in the USA calendar. Thank you. |
Kaili | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 12:18 pm     Xarph- it's the 14th of August (the 8th month), thus 14/8 |
Seanflynn2003 | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 12:24 pm     Except for the US, most of the world has today as 14/8, not 8/14; one of those things like metric system where we are the odd balls But since this is primarily a US board, 8/14 makes more sense |
Mystery | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 12:32 pm     But most of the world doesn't use just numbers, do they? I thought that the whole point of putting the day first was so they could say "14 August 2003" and have a word in the middle of the numbers so there's no confusion. |
Xarph | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 12:35 pm     In the USA (except for the military) we use the August 14, 2003 date form. |
Moderator | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 12:36 pm     How about a compromise? Mod hd |
Spunky | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 12:37 pm     Are nominations such a predictable event that we're having more fun discussing how many months in a year we have?? Well, let's say I'm from Venus and you're from Mars... how many months will I have in my year?? |
Xarph | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 12:39 pm     Nice going Mod. You are my hero. |
Mystery | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 12:39 pm     Xarph, when I said "they" use 14 August 2003 I meant the rest of the world that doesn't do it the US way. I just emailed a friend in England and he said that he would never write 14/8/03 (he would write 14 August 2003) but he also said that he is old and set in his ways and maybe younger people write 14/8/03. I don't have the live feeds; I wish I could see the plotting going on in the house today! I'm very interested to see if Erika and Jack can stick to their plan. |
Xarph | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 12:45 pm     If you are from Venus you will have no months in your year. You will have no weeks in your year. You will not even have days in your year. One complete rotation of Venus (a day) takes 243 Earth days. One complete rotation of Venus around the sun (a year) takes 225 earth days. Thus one Venus year consiste of 225/243 earth days or 0.925925925925925925925925925925926 Venus days. |
Spunky | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 12:45 pm     Well.... ooopppeeee dooohhh!! Coming from Venus I'd have only 225 Earth days!!! crap... much less than 12 months... and you from Mars..you'd have 687 Earth Days.. holy cow... your trip around the sun is slow!!! Well, that was fun... now let's talk Justin and Robert on the block!!! I'd rather see Robert go and Justin stay... |
Spunky | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 03:34 pm     This is why this thread is not picking up... all my buddies in New York, Toronto, Ottawa, Cleveland.. are stuck with no internet today!! I feel for you!! |
Way2prissy | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 03:38 pm     What time is the nominations? |
Seamonkey | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 03:51 pm     But, if you came from Venus and lived on earth, then you'd still have 12 months probably  |
Spunky | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 03:57 pm     It should have been around 6 pm but the Food comp will be then, so... who knows... Seamonkey.... you got it!! |
Costacat | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 04:06 pm     Since this is in the BB USA thread, why would we have to post dates in European formats? Why couldn't we just say "August 14" also, since BB4 *is* only being held in the year 2003? |
Reader234 | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 04:11 pm     costacat...roflol... maybe you'd better add your disclaimer!!! love your humor btw!! SO, Erika and Jack are going to try and deal with Robert? But still put up Robert and Justin???? ;) |
Woodpecke® | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 04:16 pm     I have an important announcement. The metric system blows and sucks at the same time. Thanks for listening. |
Goddessatlaw | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 04:19 pm     Why, Woodpecker, you are just a dang genius - applying that concept to a battery operated tool could result in the greatest sex toy of all time. You would never have to touch It again. I say we run with it and make ourselves kajillionaires. |
Woodpecke® | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 04:24 pm     If I had a toy like that, I'd never leave the house. |
Cricket | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 04:26 pm     LOL, Spunky...re Venus/Mars...that depends on whether you're male or female. ROFLMAO @ Wood & Goddess. Geez, the people on this board are way more entertaining than those on this TV show. I hope Erika will nominate Justin and Robert (even though she said she wouldn't nominate Robt at the beginning of the show) and if either gets the veto or vetoed, put up Jee. The worst thing would be if Jee or Ali get the veto. Otherwise, Justin should go. If Erika (and Jack) don't get ONE of the Stooges out this week, I am through, through, I tell you (and I think I mean it.) |
Kalekona | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 04:28 pm     Unless there is a major twist in the show I don't see anyway the can't get a Jee3 out. Think it's a done deal. |
Dan | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 04:29 pm     We could all use the international metric system that would give the date as 2003/08/14 or 2003-08-14. That format is also a big favorite of the computing industry as it unifies all format. BTW, the province of Québec is not affected by the current power outage as our grid is interconnected but not synchronised with the rest of the eastern network, a lesson we learn during our ice storm event of a few years ago (it took up to a month for the electricity to be restore in some area). |
Chy | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 04:39 pm     Not making deals until after Veto will be a better move for Erika & Jack. Wow, wonder what kind of turn the POV will bring this time around the block. Veto boy better not be that lucky again. Also, since CBS is not in as much a hurry as other weeks with Friday show moved to Sat., perhaps BB won't make them go through Nom. today. Not to beat the horse to death, just want to remind you that, there's also about one fifth to one quater of the whole population who never use names for months. Numbers only, Lunar or not. ;-) |
