- Time is a concept only relevant to human beings. Throughout the animal kingdom, utility companies and mail order delivery companies, there is only a concept of now (e.g. it's now in the warehouse) and a vague sense of future things (e.g. it should be delivered on Thursday.)
- Clocks were developed with a "tick" to let time know that it had to pass. This is why, before the advent of the tick, there was so much more time than there has been since.
- If we were living on the planet Pluto instead of the Earth, the difference in length of the year would be insignificant, as we'd all have frozen to death long ago.
- Schooldays are generally recognised as being the best time of your life. This means that teachers should be the happiest people there are.
- Interactive time travel into the past of this universe is impossible.
- Time is elastic. Test this out by being a couple of minutes late for work. You will find that this becomes a major issue. Turn up early though, and it is insignificant.
- 17.71% of all time is wasted.
- If time ran backwards instead of the way it runs now, we wouldn't notice.
- Time and motion studies have shown that it is possible to get paid for standing around all day with a clipboard, occasionally doodling on it.
- Time for a cup of tea.
