Old habits are hard to break

Yeah, I forget that alot of people here are not American. I use the Farenheit scale because it's all I've ever known. As to the origin of my nick, I was watching a documentary about space; the subject being the psychological distress subjected to astronauts. One such cause of psychological distress was not having a regular day/night cycle. To solve this problem, the astronauts used the rising and setting of the earth to mark time biologically. These are called zeitgebers (time-givers) and one zeitgeber is 90 minutes. I've always had a fascination with space and such, so I figured zeitgeber is as good a nick as any.

Also, thanks for the unanimous advice everyone! And so quickly too. I might just have to strive for those brief moments, but you never know, maybe I will strike up a conversation with daddy. Hell, I bullshit enough at work, might as well bullshit for something truly worthwhile, eh? Maybe I'll make a new adult friend too... then again, maybe not :)
