This morning, I received an e-mail from a restaurant about a "Christmas Bokking", prompting visions of my fellow lab denizens and myself turning up for our meal dressed as chickens.
Later, someone on my telecon uttered the following words in all seriousness: "So wait, is this the problem we were having with time going backward?"

I read it out to Andrew, because I couldn't decide, and he said "apparently this is the week of time going backward, because David [a friend of ours in Glasgow, who had a visiting mutual friend from Canada turn up a day later than expected and in poor enough shape that he had to be taken to the hospital] finally got to bed at three in the morning, and he had to get up at five. He woke up at four and looked at the clock and couldn't remember if the numbers go forwards or backwards. He thought they went backwards, so he'd have eleven more hours of sleep. He was very sad when he woke up an hour later."
It is partly in David's honor, then, that I've voted for time going backward being funnier. I do feel for him, but being so tired you can't remember what order the numbers on a clock go in did make both Andrew and I giggle.
