Vayshan (remember him? :) ) amused me today; with his permission, I'm posting a message I received via ICQ:

Yeah. I took a nap today, and a lot happened while I was asleep: it rained outside, and my mom came home from work. As a result, when I woke up, I was a little disoriented. I looked at the clock and it was almost nine. I thought it was already morning, so I needed to get up :D I went into my mom's room, and she was still asleep. I almost woke her up to tell her she had overslept work, but I decided against it, thank goodness. I went to make some tea and glanced at the microwave – it was 20:55 :D It turns out it was still evening.
The author's spelling and punctuation are preserved. Has anything like this ever happened to you? It's happened to me a couple of times in the winter; I've woken up thinking I'd overslept school. The moral of the story is: don't use analog clocks; the hands will deceive you :D
O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.


G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
