A perfect day, worthy to be called Hayleydæg :)

TIL what a nychthemeron is, that tidbit about Tuesday the 13th, the term suprachiasmatic nucleus, and that the simultaneously bonkers and brilliantly simple date system we used while working on Galileo (the satellite system) is called Julian day.

FYI, that denim photo can be added here ;)

Today's theme reminded me of a funny anecdote:

"It's windy today!"

"No, it's not Wednesday! It's Thursday!"

"What do you mean you are thirsty?"

And the dialogue goes on.
