#2. Time Speeds Up Until You're Insane

How many of you out there are old enough to notice time speeding up? For those of you who aren't, can you remember when you were a kid and the school year finally ended and the summer was about to begin? It seemed like you'd been waiting half your life for it, while at the exact same time your mom was going, "Gah! Summer is here ALREADY?! " The fact is your perception of time http://everything2.com/user/Professor%20Pi/writeups/Why%20time%20appears%20to%20speed%20up%20with%20age">speeds up with age. It's just math

It is just math--from an article published in the Journal of Irreproducible Results.

Go ahead, click the link in the excerpt--it goes straight to an page at Everything2 that presents the satirical article as "groundbreaking."

At least the "shockingly evil" babies list (and others) just misunderstands actual research.

1. Everyone knows that life is like a roll or toilet paper
it gets used up faster and faster as it reaches the end.
