After the debacle that was the 2005 Snackies, I cannot believe that this hastily foisted off "contest" is here.<< So since Kar2oon Man has agreed to the fact the 2006 Snackies have already been awarded, this so-called election is invalid!

Just too ashamed to acknowledge you got knocked out by an old lady with a Turkey leg. Here you go, have a nice hot cup of coffee, it'll bring you to!

The stroke of *Midnight* marks the boundry between one day and the next, so it's both the end of one day and the beginning of the next. The next second pushes things to 12:00:01 AM (as it would now be 1 second into the morning). There are two ways to avoid confusion. One way is to use 24 hour time. The day starts at 0:00 and ends at 24:00. The other way is to ignore midnight be either choosing 11:59 PM or 12:01 AM. (Since 24 hour time is not commonly used, this is used much more often). << I'm so confused. Everyone shouts "Happy New Year" when the clock strikes 12. Is that technically too soon??? >> Nope. Since it's BOTH the end of the old year AND the start of the new year, it's valid to say "Happy New Year".
