Let me explain what "pass of time" means... "Time is what my clock shows" That means, if somebody tells you it is half pass seven.. that means your clock changed numbers from 1-30. half past seven means 7, 1234567891011121314..30 the numbers of your clock changed numbers when it reached 30 it is pass the time of 7 by 30 minutes. But only the numbers on the clocked have changed. Time don't pass or move. "Time is what my clock shows" 'half pass seven is what my clock shows' Time has not passed. Only the mumbers have passed from 1-30. Boy how time flies! WAIT WAIT. TIME DOESN'T FLY. THAT'S JUST AN EXPRESSION! DON'T GET CARRIED AWAY... sit on a hot stove. -- The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable, to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, and challenge the unchallengeable.
