T-Rex: Clocks are in base 24 for hours (0-23) but sometimes they're base 12 with an "am" or "pm" added for clarity!
T-Rex: RIDICULOUS.
T-Rex: And it gets worse, because MINUTES and SECONDS are base 60! We REPRESENT them in base 10, but come on, we are mixing anywhere from two to four bases here for TIME ITSELF. That is MADNESS!
Utahraptor: See, I would've thought you'd be into something called "sexagesimal".
T-Rex: NORMALLY, I would be!
T-Rex: But some things are even more important than numeral systems with really erotic names.
Utahraptor: And now you're going to propose decimal time, and I'm going to say let's get metric done worldwide before we try to REDEFINE TIME ITSELF, and you're going to admit I'm right.
T-Rex: Huh! Utahraptor, your summary there saved us minutes of time!
Off panel: NORMAL minutes or decimal minutes, T-Rex?
T-Rex: *sigh*
T-Rex: ...
T-Rex: ...Normal minutes
T-Rex: RIDICULOUS.
