Products of Boredom

I'd been thinking - I do that alot, though i've recently concluded it is not the bane of my existence that i and some others have previously made it out to be- anyway, I've been thinking and in isolation one finds time to give thought to many things, things of purpose and things utterly random. This post could have been one about the many thoughts i've had about philosophy or science or the nature of man. Instead today i post on something utterly random, with no meaningful purpose at all. >:D

It started as a simple thought, my geek side gave it weight, and now its bloomed full blossom into one of those internet list things. I'm writing it so i don't forget, and writing it online cause there's bound to be some losers somewhere who find it interesting.

So, ahem,

The Question:
If you're sitting on the South Pole (and I mean smack-dab ass-on-point On the South Pole) what Time-Zone should you use?

The Answers:

1. The practical answer: Just use GMT.
2. The aesthetic answer: Depends on which side of the globe you're facing.
3. The mundane answer: Just pick one at random and stick to it till you die, how does it matter anyway (how does anything matter anyway)
4. The religious answer: Same as above, just be prepared to die for your right to use that Time-Zone!
5. The physicists answer: Design a system of time that makes your work at the south pole easiest.
6. The geek answer: Use complex algorithms and popular science to design a time-frame that has no connection to reality in any way.
7. The lazy answer: Just use whatever time zone your watch is already set to.
8. The lazier answer: Don't wear a watch.
9. The even lazier answer: Why the f*** would i want to go to the South Pole in the first place?
10. The laziest answer: zzzzzz.....huh? wha..?

People, of course, (and i mean you, loser, if you've read this through and liked it) are encouraged to add to the list as they please. Prost.
