Weird thing of the day 6 May 2005/27 Nisan 5765 (Day 12 of the `Omer/Nurses' Day/No Pants Day)

Greetings.

Desktop-clearing update:

• Bad behavior: “Researchers Tested Drugs on Foster Kids”
  
• Bad idea: Decimal Weeks
  
• New dino: “Newfound Dinosaur a Transitional Creature”
  
• Unjustified paranoia: “Vaccine safety concerns may discourage parents”
  
• Even more unjustified paranoia: “Polio Spreads From Nigeria After Claims”

Today’s weird thing is The Time Traveler Convention. The Time Traveler Convention will take place at May 7, 2005, 10:00pm EDT (08 May 2005 02:00:00 UTC). Events start at 8:00 PM. The address:

East Campus Courtyard, MIT
3 Ames St. Cambridge, MA 02142
42:21:36.025°N, 71:05:16.332°W
(42.360007,-071.087870 in decimal degrees)

The point of this event is to attract time travelers from the future. The organizers wish people to pass down information on this event through the ages so that future time travelers do attend. In order to accomplish this (and because it is a totally weird thing to do, much in the spirit of this blog), I have created an iCal event on my computer to remind me to publicize the convention once a year. I hope to have details on whether any time travelers do attend the convention on Sunday.

Enjoy.
