12:00:00 = Noon or Midnight
12:00:01 (after midnight) is 12 AM
12:00:01 (after noon) is 12 PM.
For the instantaneous period of time in between AM and PM, there is no AM or PM, just noon and midnight.

A.M. stands for "ante meridiem"
P.M. stands for "post meridiem"
Meridiem=Noon
Ante=before
Post=after
Therefore, by definition, noon cannot be AM or PM. By the same token, midnight cannot be either because it is a point in time that divides the day up.

Which is easier? Training a monkey to be a hobo, or a hobo to be a monkey?
Discuss.....

I'm already borderline hobo so it shouldn't be too hard to go over the edge...  I'm so poor
