What Is The Capital Of Japan?

and his 999,999,999 mates!

 

OKOK... now hang on... this is a hang over from the silly non metric
counting system

The first floor of the building should be the bloody ground floor...
else what floor is the ground floor? The 0 floor?!?!

"That's wrong Pat,but post it anyway--maybe noone will notice the fuckup"
What was I thinking?

Zero is metric invention?

Burn her, she's a witch!

 

The invention of zero was the fundemental discovery required for the
metric system indeed... but not invented by. It and the base 10 number
system are 2 requirements without with the metric system couldn't exist.

I've never seen a building with a floor labelled as "0". Maybe that's only in
binary buildings.

No, they would be numbered 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, 1000.

No, I thought you were pedantically anal Theo of the ivory tower, and Clem
was the anally pedantic Brisneyite.

And how come it's never 12am?

over to you, Clem

 

Most of my observations have been that elevators in Australia usually list
the '0' floor as G for Ground Floor, then it goes 1234 etc etc..and
...there ain't no 13th floor "spooky" eh!!

Arrgh that 12am/pm business shits me!
So many people say it (and confuse eachother with it!)
It should be a punchable offence.....

 

You're not very observant then. I've never seen an elevator in an Australian
building.

(and I've never seen the missing 13th floor either, but I have seen some
American movies).

 

You haven't been in my lift?

Not many short people wearing tall shoes around your neck of the woods nev?

My clock says it is once a day... the AM indicator comes on when it
goes to 12:00 at night.


G-S

 

It probably waits until it's 12:00:00.000000000001 ......

 

Clem, what say you, I and Pisshead start drinking at 12:00am and
finish at 12:00pm

I've heard that story too (about no 13th floor) but I've never yet
noticed a building where it was true - my current workplace certainly
has a 13th (60 Martin Place)

The AMP building on Circ Quay has their plant room on level 13 so no people
have to live there.
I was in a building in Perth last week had no 13 button in the lift.
