When the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots face off this Sunday for Super Bowl LXat Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA, both teams will be hoping to break some football records. But another type of record could be set in the wake of the big game: Super Bowl Monday could set a record for the second straight year for U.S. employees who plan to miss work, according to UKG’s annual Super Bowl Fever Absenteeism Survey. An estimated 26.2 million employed Americans say they will miss work the day after the big game, surpassing 2025’s record-setting 22.6 million employees and potentially costing upwards of $5.2 billion in lost work and productivity.

Telling Time – 12-hour time is a very ancient system that traces back to the Mesopotamian empires. They had a cultural fixation with the number 12, used a base-12 numerical system, and divided up most things into 12ths whenever possible – including day and night. The 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night system spread throughout Europe and the Middle East and has defied multiple attempts to change it over the centuries. Also, for anyone curious as to why there was such a love of the number 12, it was because that was how they counted on their hand. Look at your hand. Notice how each of your fingers minus your thumb has three easily identifiable parts to it. They used to count by using their thumb to count each part of the finger, much in the same way we count to 10 using our fingers today. So, 12 was the max you could count on one hand.
