Is that colon in 24 hour time thing really valid? My phone, Nook, alarm clock, and bathroom clock all show : between the 24 hour notation and the minutes. Or, rather, is it even military anymore?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.
I thought military time didn't use the colon.

I don't think a banana will solve all your pissy problems unless you're on the same medication as I am, but it can't hurt to try provided that you're not allergic and just banana-avoidant like I am.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
IIRC, US military time doesn't use the colon, but assorted other 24-hour schemes do. Euro train schedules, the menu bar on this computer, etc etc. So maybe the confused person in your office was calling from another continent?

It isn't just military time, it is the standard 24 hour time notation.

ISO 8601 allows either without separators or with colon separators.
I can't believe I knew that. I slightly-less-can't believe I was dick enough to say it.

Okay, so there was nothing wrong in a meeting request from 12:30-13:00.

And I hope no one thinks that WWE isn't really hard and athletic, despite being staged.
I interviewed a former wrestler once and he likened it to being a stunt man. He said, "When someone picks you up over his head and slams you to the mat, you really hit the mat. That's not fake."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I am thoroughly banana proof. This I'm pretty sure of.
I keep telling you, you should take a tylenol or something. I also have some aromatherapy stuff from aveda that I put on my temples. It'll clear you right up!
