Help! A science/math/reality question

We've been debating on this for a couple of days now in my math class: Can time be negative? We spent more than half a class period on that today, and I need opinions from people who know about these things. I'm so glad I've got all these genius relatives :)

Part of the discussion went something like this...

Kid: I guess time could be negative if reality were an illusion.

Me: But if reality is an illusion we're imagining, then why am I at school?

Other kid: Right.

....

Teacher: So do you think there's any easy answer to this?

A few kids are still laughing for no apparent reason. We all laughed a lot, and we don't really know why.

Me: ...42?

Teacher: What? (as we all start laughing again)

Yeah, we really don't have any idea.... can you help me? Thanks

Won't You Be My Neighbor

I saw this on another blog.

What a tremendous guy.

If you had a fit of nostalgia like me and need to listen to more Mr. Rogers, try this.

"Are we there yet?"

This is really funny. Some guy wrote an equation about how long it takes for kids in the car to get whiny.  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/coventry_warwickshire/5201552.stm

Comics to help a thesis

According to the comics survey I took today:

My sense of humour is most similar to:

• People in their 30's
• People from: United States of America
• Of gender: Female
• Who speak: English
• Your sense of humour is similar to those with a balanced active-reflective, intuitive, visual, and balanced sequential-global learning style.

If you'd like to take this survey, contact Eve Forster at Queen's University.

This was actually pretty fun. However, if you decide to do it, it does take a  chunk of time). But, hey, it helps someone with their "honours" thesis (if you do it in Canada, that makes it "honours" in my book). I'm all about helping people with any kind of thesis--and I'm curious if any of you have non-American senses of humor (or would that mean you had a sense of "humour"?).
