Pass me a drink: It’s New Year’s somewhere

Sidney Australia is way ahead of you and your puny 2012 celebration.

Just imagine, you could have already been celebrating by now. But you’re probably sipping a cup of coffee or orange juice instead of tippling a frothy glass of Santorum beer or bottoming out a glass of bubbly.

Gosh, if you were born somewhere else in the universe, you might have celebrated 2012 ions ago, just before taking a dip into a black hole.

Just where in the universe is 2012?
