DickMcMahon 0 #1 February 12, 2004 The terrible 2001 attacks on the United States occurred on September 11th, of course. But do Australians say they occurred on Sept 12th since it was the next day there when it all happened? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yardhippie 0 #5 February 12, 2004 I know what your saying. My mom live in Australia +13 hours (or 12 depending on daylight stealing time) and my father lives in Germany. We gave up on coordinating phone calls. Email mostly. Oh.. and if your lucky, fly from Sydney to LAX, and if you have a good tail wind you can arrive in L.A. before you left Sydney! Ow-ow-ow... my brain hurts. Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know! I did that last Summer. Going to Australia I lost an entire day ... (I was DEAD May 23rd), and coming back to L.A. I arrived 7 hours before I left. Mathmatically, I'm 17 hours older than I should be because of the trip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
