OK, someone help me out here. What is 24 about? Why is it called 24?? I've never even seen a commercial for it...and before you ask....NO, I don't live under a rock. I just don't watch much TV at all. :)

P.S. I like your new pic--however, you look waaaaayyy to friendly to keep the world safe from terror! You need a black leather trench coat and sunglasses.

24 is a show about a counter-terrorism unit. The show is called 24 because each episode contains 60 clock minutes. the season is 24 episodes. one full day. all the action happens in one day.

as for the picture, we were at the airport in atlanta and someone left that briefcase unattended, so before security showed up to surround it, a friend took my picture with "the bomb".
