>Maybe someday when we convert our time system to decimal. ;)

Expressing the times of day in decimals would actually simplify a lot of things. .5 would be noon, .25=06:00, .75=18:00, 1.00=00:00 (aka midnight) and for any time between you could just pull as many decimals as you need. One milliday would be about a minute and a half (86.4 seconds), so with just three digits we could be sufficiently precise for any of our schedules; for precision, add 4th or 5th decimal and there you are.

Just divide the current time, in hours with decimals, with 24, and you'd get such a number.
