petition statement:
Welcome Mortals, for now is the time of our choosing; what shall you be choosing? the number of hours in a day of course. This could be a very big decision in the course of mankind, so choose carefully. What I and my associates are proposing is this: changing the current day from 24 hours long to 32 hours long. This is only a mere 8 hours difference, which will not effect our sleep in any way other than make us more efficient. This will effect many other things which i have planned, theses things include:
number of days in a year
leap years
length of week.

The number of hours in a year will not change from  8760 hours. This will mean that there will be 273 days per year. There is 24 hours left at the end of each year, so every four years we will have 3 extra holidays.

The sun will not be running on time anymore, but what dictates that our lives must fully revolve around when the sun is on our side of the earth?

I am however positive that this will greatly benefit our television networks. Most of the television show only make 3X episodes and the rest of the year is just re-runs. Well, now your favorite television show can be a new one every day and you wont have to wait once a week for it to come on air due to not being able to fit them all in a day.

The Length of week will stay the same as to not totally confuse the world. It will be 7 days just like always and with 39 weeks a year.

So please, mortals of earth, come together and sign this petition to lengthen the day to 32 hours long. For it will greatly improve our health, entertainment, adaptability, and most of all our global community.

I must digress Bobby, not as teh anti-bob, but as a 1337 d00d.

It would bring NO BENEFIT to humanity to change our day length. If we did not compensate by working 33% longer, we would be 33% less richer. So if we worked 33% longer, we would not be gaining any more spare time.

However, if we had 32 hour days and worldwide all employers agreed to give a 33% raise in all wages, this plan would greatly increase quality of life. Of course the employers woulden't go along.

fuck off and die. Is that all your about? Material items and money? Your siding with the greedy corporations and want all the money for yourself. Why the hell couldnt we work two 8 hour shifts in one day???
you could get 8 hours sleep, wake up, go work 8 hours, go play for 8 hours, go work for 8 hours.

Still seems like the same thing, just switching the time around.

Ok well there is one advantage to this Bobilicious 36 hour day thing. People could decide to work just as much as they do now, or work 33% less and have a better MENTAL(not material) quality of life. People don't have the option to work 5 hour days. They either work 8, 10, or 12 hours, or they get fired. It would also make it safer and easier to work 12 hour shifts, because you can split it into two time periods.

Ok the cult of Bob has brought us a not so bad idea, problem is, it's MOR not the cult of Bob. Come on MOR, your a heretic and you know it. Come to the light, we all still love you, no matter how horrible the attrocities you commited at Bob.

I guess I am sorta a capitialist. I just call it a survialist. You ever seen that episode of The Simpsons where Homer becomes a hippie? Homer is unhappy that his Hippie friends run a factory to make fruit juice for sale. The hippies tell Homer they had to pay the bills somehow.

Now if your on a paycheck to paycheck budget, 33% less money is tough.

Some scientist actually proved that mortals where made for 23 hours.
