  International Date Line

We all know about the International Date Line; it is a line or meridian of 180’ it runs through the Pacific running north to south, if you lived exactly on that exact line what day would it be? I mean at the exact moment of transition, time would exist in both the am and the pm. Is it the day before, or today, or tomorrow?

'We all know about the international date line, but here's an explanation anyways.'
You can't live on a line.
Anyway.

I don't know; why don't you move there and find out?

If you lived exactly on the line you'd be very wet. And extremely narrow. Do you know how wide a line is?

I seriously thought it was a television show. But to answer your question..it is neither. It is midnight.

The date line doesn't actually run through any country even though it should.

Nobody lives directly on the line. That's the whole point. It was specifically designed to avoid any landmass. You're either on one side or t'other.

If you lived on the Date Line, presumably today would be, erm, today?

The local community would have to choose which day it was, then agree to all stick to that. It's really pretty arbitrary at that location.

I didn't know who the survey creator was when I made the comment. When I saw it was you, I had a twinge of a second thought, but then I decided I liked my answer too much to change it. And I must admit that this kind of supposedly-profound conundrum doesn't really do much for me, so I'm likely to be a little glib in response. It's nothing personal, though.

That's not a very "other" response; are you slipping?

This question reminds me of those old jokes. If a rooster laid an egg on the peak of a house, which way would it roll ? Oh yeah !!!!! roosters don't lay eggs. DUH. If an electric train was traveling north and the wind was blowing south, which way would the smoke go ? DUH, Oh yeah electric trains don't blow smoke. This also remainds me of that bit in the movie Spaceballs when they're watching the video of the movie they are in, and he says "When does this happen in the movie?" It just happened. "Now ?" no we just past it. "Can we go back?" No "why not?" because we just past it. "when will then be now ?" *dead face*
Soon !!!!!
