I like your theory, but there's one problem: He didn't clean our memory of the Horrors of the Previous President. So really, this is a kind of Hell?

Did anyone remember to reserve a new world for such an eventuality? If not we may have to send LS & the Pandaborg out again to arrange it, or I just won't be able to sleep tonight.
(Not an issue if, of course, the end of the world ends up being scheduled for this afternoon)

I'd go for a red one, I love red! Mind you, not burgundy, but real red.

I thought we'd agreed in a previous thread that it was going to have happened in a couple of Tuesdays?

Remember MR is global, there is an international date line; someone's Tuesday might be someone else's Wednesday, or is that Monday? Where's Marc, I'm sure he'll not straighten this out?

I think he's in the future, at least from my perspective...

I'm sure (but can't be bothered to check) that for a short period we'll all be experiencing the same Tuesday together, just at a different hour of the day. Or something.

However, if we have a time machine it's irrelevant - we can end it on the same Tuesday, simultaneously, at different times!

It will definitely happen on at least one Tuesday, possibly even over a couple as you say...but with so many of them stretching out before and behind us, and the three of us fairly loaded up with ZCDs, it's a lottery as to which of the Discontinuum's Tuesdays it might be.

Cheers,

Because we still haven't asked the proper question to the answer "42".
