WOW. Why is it people feel the need to comment on 'perceived' negatives in others? Personally, I prefer time to be expressed in the "correct" format of 00:00:05:00.0.0. And why do I feel the need to correct such irresponsible and socially maladjusted comments? Ahhhh.... come quickly, Lord Jesus, it's gettin' ridiculous down here!!!!!

This is a general comment about many of your countdowns, expressed with this one by the coincidental fact that this is an example of time being expressed incorrectly. We neither think of, or express, five minutes or even a five minute countdown as a written expression of "05:00" (04;00, 03;00, etc.). Written, this should be "5:00", etc. To be even close to properly expressed, 05:00 would have to appear as a part of a countdown that was at least 10:00 minutes long.
