Alternatively you could switch it to Swatch Internet time,
(Swatch is trying to create an internet based timeline where it's the same time all over the world.)
A day is divided into 1000 beats. http://www.swatch.com for more info

Why is using metric time stupid?

Why is it any more stupid than dividing a day into 24?

I mean, 24?

You know where the 24 hour day came from? Don't be knocking it. As for knives versus railguns, railguns inflict more damage, and more damage is better. With quad damage I once got 4 frags with one shot. It would be very hard and rather stupid to attempt that with a knife, a guantlet could do it though.

No, actually i don't know where 24 hours came from.

Sure, a light/dark cycle seems a sensible thing to define as a day in our time, and a year one rotation around the sun..
A month (roughly one moon orbit around the earth) seems less important, but still has some implications for the tides.

24 hours? if anyone knows why 24 hours then please reveal...
