To me that just seems a little repetitive, redundant, like saying the same thing over and over.  If they needed to fill that kind of time, I would think that an ever-popular "uuuuuh" could perform that task. > > Tra "*more* than 24 time zones?, they must be off planet, too" nio
  Why?  There are more than 24 time zones on the planet; not every time zone is an hour removed from the one next to it.  There are many that, for various reasons, are +X 1/2 hours or what not.
