Happy New Year!
31 Dec 2016
For New Year's 2000, tickets were sold for a flight aboard the Concorde that started with a midnight celebration in Paris. Passengers then boarded the plane, which could beat the rotation of the earth, and landed in New York to see midnight again.
That's cute, but I can circumnavigate the planet on foot in less than a minute.
As I write this, it is 2 hours to midnight on 31 Dec (New Zealand Time). We'll be celebrating the New Year every hour down here. Head out to the pole, and take one step further to the right and you're in the next time zone.
Cheers!
That's pretty "cool"... ha! See what I did there?
ReplyDeleteIt's also pretty interesting that The timestamp on that post is 4:30p tomorrow afternoon.
