Can anybody read this yet? I don't know exactly how far back this will go. Whatever happens, don't let Fistful see the new year. I can't tell you why... they'll know and find the resistance.

It is the time required, at the standard air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow, to travel one meter backwards.

I saw this message, now, when I was 42, and when I was 15. Your time displacement equipment is out of synch.
PS - How about a little help with what the stock market will do in the next month, yo?

It's not how old you are in days... that would make you 846 yo. I guess that would be OK for Methuselah, though.
Hmmmm. Anything historical happen in (2013 - 846) = 1167AD?

Diameter of the universe in parsecs? (As of today. :) )
OK, tell me, so I can smite my forehead and say, "Dang, I shoulda known that!" and go to bed happy.

It's yesterday's stardate (trekkie nerd stuff) as of his post.
I never knew how the "stardate" was derived, but basically it goes from January 1st 2323 and either counts forwards or backwards (hence his negative number to get to today). There are 1000 stardates in our standard year.
So, throw out one perfectly good calendar that western civilization uses, replace it with one that "sounds" like it is a multispecies/multicultural one that isn't focused on the origin date of any particular religious faith, but still keep it Earth-centric since it is based on a standard Earth year. Hide the hubris. =D
There's got to be some effective constant measurable decay or radiation pulse out in the galaxy that would make a better calendar.

We have the galactic year. Also microfortnight, nanocentury, and the kilosecond. And lets not forget dog years.

Well "time" is a figment of our imagination. All that really exists is the displacement of matter...

Just a vestigal time measurement based on solar cycles.

Decaying ones, at that.

Let's not be forgetting the perfectly southern measurement of "A coon's age".

Yet if you keep reading this thread, at some point you'll intersect with one of the temporal anomalies we're creating here, and you'll get back your five minutes, plus 0.032547600034 years (give or take).

Great. By the time that happens, I'll be to old to enjoy it.

No worries, we'll set you up with a wormhole to one of the alternate Earths where they discovered anti-agapics and return your youth to you.

Time is a temporal illusion that keeps us from perceiving eternity.

You are all so stuck on Chronos that you completely ignore the Khyros.
