BST, or Benii Standard Time, is a time system invented by Ben which uses base ten. (Think of it as a metric time system.) It was invented on a day that Ben was slightly bored and was having trouble calculating the time until dinner. He was having some trouble since he had to remember that there were twelve stupid little hours in half a day.

He decided that it would be much easier if there were only ten large units of time in a day, which were divided into smaller units of time in base ten instead of using random things like "60 minutes in an hour." He decided that there should be 10 gwarks in the time that it takes the earth to make one revolution (a day). Since there are 10 gwarks in a day and 24 hours, 1 gwark is the equivalent of 2.4 hours.

After Ben informed the other members of Nonsense Software, David nicely wrote a program that makes the clock in the windows toolbox go into BST instead of "standard" time. He also wrote a javascript that shows the time in BST on the main Nonsense Software page. You can get the program on the download page.

Ben is a monkey. (And I'm a duck.)
