That isn't true. There are some points, although I can't think of any right off the top of my head (I'll have to check out the movie to find them), where a clock or a watch doesn't show 4:20.

EDIT: Thank you IMDB...

There is a persistent myth that that all the clocks in the movie are set to 4:20 (although, certainly all the clocks on the wall in the pawn shop are set to 4:20). However, in at least two scenes it is obvious that this is not the case. In the "Bonnie Situation" while Jimmy, Vince and Jules are drinking coffee in the kitchen, the clock clearly reads 8:15. Secondly, when Vince and Jules go to retrieve the briefcase, it is "7:22 in the a.m.".

Then I'm not an average human. I stay awake for an hour or two before actually falling asleep

I guess I'm not an average human, either. xD I stay awake for hours before I can fall asleep.

There is another Windows error screen besides the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death), and that is the PSSOD (Pink Striped Screen of Death). I got it yesterday. It's much rarer, and a heck of a lot scarier.
