(I haven't really been inspired to making anything presentable lately. Naturally, my artistic side being properly repressed brings forth my other sides..) Inspired by Tom Lehrer's "That's Mathematics":


Counting:
1 sec: = 3.6 (average calculated by 5 / 5 from the count value of 5 seconds.)
5 sec: = 18
1 min: = 216
1 hour. = 12 960
1 day. = 311 040
1 week.= 2 177 280
1 mnth.= 9 434 880
1 year = 113 218 560

Ok, so while this one's math is BASICALLY correct.. it is horribly inaccurate, horribly inaccurate.. Do yuo know why? Probably.. That is: sleep. Even if you assume that a person is counting in their head, they will still require atleast 8 hours of sleep on average every day to keep their body/mind going. That is, you lose the amount of time every physical year it takes to count to 37 765 440. Obviously.
I cannot let this stand, and so.. I bring you the second edition:

Counting v.0010:
1 sec: = 3.6 (average calculated by 5 / 5 from the count value of 5 seconds.)
5 sec: = 18
1 min: = 216
1 hour. = 12 960
1 day. = 207 360
1 week.= 1 451 520
1 mnth.= 5 806 080
1 year = 69 672 960
1 year(calculated by just days) = 75 686 400

THis is still only an approximation though. As it does not take 1 second to count from 59 567 345 to 59 567 348.6.

Still, this does show one or two things very clearly:

1: The current calendar is wrong. (Do the math. ) But then, we knew that allready..

2. You waste (very) approximately 125411328 seconds sleeping each year. Or by a different calculation that doesn't make use of the standardised calendar: 10490400 seconds. Otherwise known as 2914 hours. IF you sleep an average of 8 hours a day.

3. Never trust a mathematician. They're like lawyers, twisting their knowledge to their own evil ends.. *Laughs maniacally and scuffles off*
