On the episode running in syndication today about Lisa joining Mensa, Skinner has a great quote about a metric clock and it being 80 past 2. Does anyone know what the quote was exactly? Thanks

LISA: "Principal Skinner, how's your transportation project coming?" SKINNER: "Oh excellent, not only are the trains now running on time, they're running on metric time. Remember this time people, 80 past 2 on April 47th, it's the dawn of a new enlightenment."
Gotta love the Google search engine...first hit on a search for "80 past 2."
