A pint of ale travels from the bar top to my mouth at .010 mph at 8 o'clock and .00007 at 11 o'clock. A tinkle at 9 o'clock has a volume of .75 ml and at 11:30 has a volume of 4 liters, or so it seems. Thanks for the post JP. It has spurred my scientific and metric curiosity. Life sure can be fun sometimes!

My IQ falls 90 points between 8 o'clock and midnite, basically bottoming out at 12:01.
