TimelyMessage.com's OFFICIAL CALENDAR
(of Minutes, Moments, Memories, Messages, and More!)

DID YOU KNOW...?

A MOMENT (or "momentum") was a medieval unit of time. The movement of a sundial's shadow covered 40 moments per solar hour. A solar hour was 1/12th the time between sunrise and sunset, which varied by season. As a result, the length of a moment was not actually a fixed amount of time!

However, on average, A MOMENT IS ~90 SECONDS (in terms of our modern-day seconds).

Duck, Duck, Duck... GOOSE?!?

Carpe, Carpe, Carpe... OCCUPANDI?!?

[Which one of these is not like the other ones...?]

Wait, what?? Occupandi...?!?!? 

WHY NO "CARPE"?!?

Because MOMENTS are... SPECIAL!!!

On the Product/Concept/Idea side of things...

A FEW INSPIRATIONS FOR ALL OUR "Whatever Minutes" CONCEPTS:

 

- Did you know almost a million people have spent ~$50 to "NAME A STAR" in the sky?!?

 
It's a clever, fun, novelty gift idea. BUT, that's a lot of money to spend on something that NASA even stepped in and publicly explained it's not legit!

-During the Olympics (I can't remember which - 2014? 2012? 2010?), I kept seeing commercials where P&G had declared themselves "The Official Sponsor of Moms!"

Again, a clever idea, but again, not at all legit.
[P.S. I checked with MY mom and she confirmed for me that she never agreed to that AND that she has yet to receive any payment for the sponsorship]  

Anyway, we decided to put our ReThinkingWhatever.com twists on some of those concepts...
