Them's a lotta 2s, and there won't be more 2s for 200 years.
And that will be a Friday, not a twos day.
Or not, the stuff besides the "sleep 10" will take a few
milliseconds as well.
Anyway, if someone is feeling ambitious, they can write a better
script with a more accurate clock mechanism. Perhaps start up
at 22:21 UTC, highlight 22:22 UTC, finish at 22:23 UTC, then
screenprint the xterm window.
Please send code!
Or if you don't get the script debugged in time, 22:22 PDT.
But that isn't cricket, is it? More like basketball.
That would be this evening. aka 10:22
