Today's word of the day is:



sex·a·ges·i·mal (adj.)

Of, relating to, or based on the number 60.

Example:

This birthday party is sexagesimal!

Learn it, love it, live by it.

Well actually i guess you could say you kind of already do live by it cuz i mean the basis of minutes and hours and therefore time is pretty sexagesimal. Unless you're like my great uncle Herman "smells of urine" Schenectedy and live on your own in the woods following your own "Kaiser Clean" clock. I never quite understood it really... Every time I asked him about it he'd just point to three popsicle sticks scotch taped to rocks he affectionately referred to as "the reactor core", he often would then dart swiftly out the door and go for a swim in the "fountain of vermouth". One time just to freak us out he spun his head right around a whole 360 degrees... then he fell to the floor, started squirming and making gargling noises... that's the last we saw of uncle Herman.
