Thank you, and happy new year. The best to all posters of all lists, who contributed with their insights to make this year such a de- light- full year. But what is a year? A turn, a spin of the Earth merry-go-round. A fast sliding one, which never revolves on the same spot twice because the solar system has its own merry-go- round too that goes around the Galaxy. That galactic year lasts 200 million years, give or take a few. Last time that new year was celebrated, dinosaurs drank Champaign and partied hearty. And yes, it's best if you celebrate it today, because it's not likely humans will be around in 200 million years from now. And, oh, this year will have an extra second. So don't let it go to waste, use it well. Happy new 200 million years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
