It's weird how relative time is. I'm sure I'm not the first one noting this (*cough* Einstein *cough*).
I dial-in to my evening conference call at 11pm. I'm the only one there. A minute later, one of my Macs in the room declares "It is 11 o'clock" and then a bit later I hear others joining the conference - let's assume they think they're joining 'on time'. Then I hear a beep from my BP monitor, warning me that it's at the top of the hour, so it's about to start a BP reading...
That's so many 'time' references in the span of a few minutes, I'm not sure when "11 pm" is, really, except maybe I should be asleep right now...
