    Aw - I wouldn't mind personally going the full nine yards for metric time, as I've already adopted the YY-MM-DD and the 24h time notation:

    "This property also makes it straightforward to represent a timestamp as a fractional day, so that 2020-12-29.54321 can be interpreted as five decimal hours and 43 decimal minutes and 21 decimal seconds after the start of that day, or a fraction of 0.54321 (54.321%) through that day (which is shortly after traditional 13:00). It also adjusts well to digital time representation using epochs, in that the internal time representation can be used directly both for computation and for user-facing display."

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_time:

    Written 2020-12-29.87500 Metric UTC
    -Decimal year, month and/ or date - Anyone?
    -Come out, all ye secret users of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time

    -Heck, we all know that 9 p m is exactly 87.5% of a day!

    Cheers

    A useful property of the 2020-12-29.54321 notation is that pictures using that as a filename will temporally self-organize when stored in a computer file.

    I wonder if oligodactyly is limited to naturally occuring birth defects, or if you have it once you've had a toe amputated...

    I marvel how certain older comedy lives on, while current examples we can't even finish viewing. Thanks for the reply.

    Rats, another blasted batch of inferial constants to memorize

    440 zambonis to the mile.

    25 zambonis to a football field

    302.5 square zambonis = 1 acre

    Regardless, "zamboni" has a ring to it; it sounds just zany enough to qualify as an inferial unit.
