GMT
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
GMT, or Galactic Metric Time, is the universal temporal standard used within the Milky Way Galaxy, the M1 Andromeda Galaxy, the Triangulum Galaxy, the Galaxy of Terror, and the Magellenic Clouds. It is used on all planets, colonies, and starships within the Federation, the Confederation, the Democratic Order of Planets, the Interstellar Alliance, the Dominion, the Republic, the Empire, the Umpire Empire, the Kingdom, the Queendom and the Bloodsucking Erovlrak Slave Worlds.
[edit] History
GMT is based upon the Gruvlkk base-8 time system. A Gruvlkksecond (Gs) is equivalent to one pulse period of the puslar CP 1919 (approximately 1.337 Earth seconds). A Gruvlkkhour (HGs) is 4096 Gruvlkkseconds (equivalent to approximately 91 minutes), and a Gruvlkkday (KGs) is 8 HGs, or little more than 12 hours. After the Second Coming of Christ in 2443—during which most VHS video tapes, digital watches, and Thomas Kinkade “art”-work was damaged—an intergalactic conference established GMT as the universal standard.
[edit] Implementation
A series of beacons located within the GMT-zone coordinate time-keeping. These beacons are coordinated by a master beacon located 1 light Gruvlkkyear from CP 1919. Most starships and space colonies synchronize clocks once every Gruvlkkhour. Time dilation effects from acceleration and gravity are factored by altering the physical constants of the universe and utilizing new physics paradigms that supplant relativistic physics. Organisms from worlds with rotational periods that differ from the Gruvlkk day utilize pharmaceuticals or genetic remapping in order to counteract the psychosis caused by disruptions of natural circadian rhythms. In this way, all is well and harmonious in the Universe.
[edit] Second Definition
Also stands for Greenwich Mean Time, which is any time the pubs close in Greenwich, and all the drunken, angry sailors of the British Navy hit the streets. It is well known, according to Winston Churchill that the British Navy is "rum, sodomy, and the lash" and these things make British sailors (also known as nancy-boys after Lord Admiral Horatio Nelson or homosexuals) especially mad when the pubs close and no-one wants to play "who's in the barrel" or "I dropped the soap".
