  1. Lance, with his obsession to control everything, will now turn his
    attention to rbr, and rule it with an iron fist.

    Nope. SuperWanker's ISP won't let him access RBR.

    He failed the Basic Intelligence Test.

    Jan got it right when they asked him how many Seconds there were in a
    year.

    He thought for a while and then came up with 31,536,000

    But Quick-Witted Mr.Jaune says ``Twelve''

    ''How'd you figure that out?'' says the ISP man

    ``Well,'' sez Mr. Jaune, ``There's January Second, February Second.....''

    Hmmm. I don't think that's right. For example, this year doesn't have that
    number of seconds.

    This year does have that many Seconds.

    As a matter of fact, if you want to split hairs, the correct answer is
    31,558,149 supposing you contemplate a sidereal year

    We should be so blessed.

    Better stick to insults Davey, you'd flunk out of exact time school.

    Geez, then please tell me how many days there are in a Sidereal year?

    Lessee now, Roger Penrose told me it was 365.25636 as opposed to the
    Tropical year which 365.24220 days (Or roughly 20 minutes less)

    But all that Jazz is a complete Black Hole to Davey, and Einstein said
    it didn't matter at all anyway 'cause it was all Relative and if
    you fooled around with it long enuf you'd be sure to meet yourself
    coming back then along comes Bohr and says Einstein was fulla [censored] on
    the Quantum stuff

    🙂

    I don't think that's right, either. Sidereal years are astronomical years
    and, when measured in astronomical years, the length changes.

    It seems like you don't think at all [censored]

    In fact the earth is slowing down each revolution and the clocks have to be
    corrected for this all the time. Therefore discussing "exact" length of a
    day or of a year in seconds is somewhat inaccurate by definition.

    I don't have my charts anymore, but the time variance is significant and
    each year it is accelerating.

    Nah, Robert's really a very high form of animal life.

    Because your legs are too short.

    It can't be that, they reach the ground.

    To most astronomers, a year is pi times 10^7 seconds and that's close
    enough for most practical work.

    Unless you care deeply about the difference between UTC and mean solar time
    and atomic time. Since previous attempts to ignore calendrical differences
    have caused significant social dislocations, maybe you should.

    You're wasting your time Ben.

    Hu-Flung-Dung was out to have an argument. 365 days was a good enuf
    approximation of a year in the context it was originally used.

    He's just another ignorant RBR'er
