That would be easy, as long as you don't get hung up on making it fit with the seasons and all that.

Edit: I just realized, Se4 DOES have a metric Calendar! Instead of twelve months in a year, we have ten turns in a year.

Isn't that a sign of the Apocalypse? The fourth one, right after Pauly Shore?

In Canada Glatic Standard Time stands for something else.

GST. or the Great Seperation Tax.

I always thought the 4th sign was when the leafs won the stanley cup or Kiddminster wins the F.A., League, and Euro's, or when the Bills win the SuperBowl.

Speaking of mindless rants...

A pet peeve of mine is.

People who call in request radio shows and request songs that are in heavy rotation.

Related peeve: radio stations that play the same fifteen songs over and over again.

And now for something completely different, my top five driving peeves:
1) People who run stop signs.
2) People who turn out right in front of me and go reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaal slow.
3) People who don't turn left when the light turns yellow.
4) People who follow five feet behind me on a two-lane road when it's obvious I can't go any faster.
5) People who stick the nose of their car out into the road when trying to turn.
