Maybe it's more than fun. I don't know. What I'm saying, and all I'm saying, is that it's enough for me if it is merely entertaining. Life is short, and I expect to be dead a long time (like forever)- so "fun" for me is a quasi-religious concept. When I think of all the people who have been, and who are no more, and how hard most of their lives were, I think it would be akin to a sacrilege not to appreciate and enjoy my own life, since I have the chance to. Pleasure, imo, is one of the things that keeps people from the screaming edge. If more people had more pleasure in their lives, if they were happier, and more fulfilled, I don't see what they'd have to scream about. Peace through happiness :-) That's what I'm talking about.

And yes, I've heard to the atomic clock. I hadn't looked at it in a while- it doesn't seem to have moved since 2002:
