Date line yes, new years day no.


It works like this,

it's about 00:15 on March 1st on a non-leapyear year, and a cruise ship in the Pacific has a lady about to pop out a young'un. She gives birth to a bawlin baby #1. A few minutes later, the ship crosses the international date line. It's now about 23:40 of Feb 28th, and out pops screamer #2.

End result is that on a leap year, baby number 1 celebrates his birthday on the usual March 1st, but baby number 2 celebrates his birthday two days earlier.

But that's only on leap years.

Ok here's one:

There is a common English word which is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to one letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

Slartibartfast 02-01-2004 11:34 AM

I though 'deja-vu' was only six letters long...

did not know before, but Google is God.

that's cheating, I suppose.

Google has money and in America money is worshiped as a god.

The quickest way is a raw egg in a glass rocky style.

For a rooster's egg is a chicken egg the same way a child is both the mother's and the father's.
