Are you stupid? Of course there is.

All the post must be delivered by the post lord within a royal hour or he must fight a duel with the recipient for his honor.

Tuesday is actually an Americanization of the British word "Teasday".

There is only 12 hours in a day, so it makes sense to me.

How we developed a system of counting in multiples of 12, when earlier humans would surely have more naturally counted using a decimal system because they have 10 fingers, is a mystery to me.

The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets forty rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it.

Is this going to be one of those times when you pretend not to have a plan until the last moment? And then turn out to really not have one?

It goes back to the old Egypt that used the sundial to count daytime and 12 stars to count nighttime.
Since they already used 12 on the night, they decided to use 12 on the day as well.
The 60 comes from the Sumerians and later the Babylonians. It is the smallest number divisible by the first six counting numbers as well as by 10, 12, 15, 20 and 30.
Although it is no longer used for general computation, the sexagesimal system is still used to measure angles, geographic coordinates and time.
As you can guess, hours were different long depending on what time of the year and where on earth you are. Minutes wasnt even calculated until 1670 with mechanical clocks as a way to get a fixed hour.
