Well, it cleared up here so I got to go out and have a last look at the stars as well. Only problem was it is really cold out there and my glass of red got chilly so I had to come back in and warm it up. Should have taken a white out there instead!

Others are getting old pairs of shoes, and putting dry ice in them, then leaving them in public places.

To make the date correct for everywhere it would have to happen when the time is midnight Saturday Night at the international date line, which will make it:

NSW/Vic/QLD/Tas: 10:00 PM

S.A/N.T: 9:30 PM

W.A.: 8:00 PM

This is the ONLY time it can be Saturday everywhere on Earth at the same time

So using the times I have listed, you now know what time to bend over with your head between your legs and kiss your butt goodbye

Yeah, typical. Another "boss's end of the world". Slave away all week and then get vaporised on the first day of the weekend. Not fair. Is this what we died in the Second World War for? I think not.

Bugger! I just don't know what to do. If I go out and use the scope tonight, the wife said she will kill me. She said I have not been paying her enough attention. Now it's the end of the world and I will be dead in the morning anyway. I just never thought it would end like this! Guess she was right, all that money spent on telescope stuff was a waste of money, and I won't get a chance to try my new why camera. She got the last word.
