thanks. also, do you know what AM and PM mean?
*EDIT*
Never mind. PM means afternoon in latin, and am means before noon. that might explain why 12:00 is neither AM, or PM

AM = ante meridian
PM = post meridian
meridian means mid-day
ante=before
post=after

Correction 12pm is when the next day starts, but it's still night (just like 1am is still night, but the next day) and 12am is noon, not night.
