Question I am too lazy to find the answer to: if you hopped time zones, how long could you make your birthday last?

RT @ben_fry: We get the auto-complete we deserve. RT @jeresig: Google auto-completed my search for ‘Bach’ into ‘Bachelorette’. Very disa …
RT @melissapierce: If you don’t tell someone what’s expected of them, it’s not their fault when they disappoint you.

Gonna get a stamp made that says TOO MANY HOVERS. I need to stamp things.
Oh and that site has annoying, bad, loud music, FYI. But I endured hitting mute for the giant claw. </sucker>
OMFG!! Roxette please leave my brain! Can I have some kind of spotshine sunless mind thing that eradicates all memories of ROXETTE? Please? This is worse than having hiccups for 10 minutes.
