Which is why all scripture and poetry is wrong. The ``11th hour'' is
really at 10:00pm. It is the 12th hour that starts at 11:00pm, which
is the hour just before midnight, or the start of the new day, at
12:00am, which is the start of the 1st hour. Unless it is sensible to
consider there to be a ``0th'' hour, in which case all scripture and
poetry was, at least in part, inspired by computer science.
