What time is it?

Post by CorSec »

Is there something goofy with the board time? By the board's clock, my last post was at ~19:30, but by every clock in my house it's ~20:00. I mean, I could understand an hour's difference - it is that time of year - but half an hour? What gives?

I'm having a similar problem, except that the clock is 30 minutes ahead instead of 30 minutes behind.

It's because you touch yourself at night...either that or it's set to Newfoundland time which is a half hour out of synch from everyone else, those silly Newfies... :P

DST would easily explain an hour's difference, but not half an hour.

By that rule, there should be a lot of bad things happening to me. I'm always touching myself at night. As for my time zone, it's set to GMT -5 not that crazy Newfie half-time zone.
