I nearly forgot it was Daylight Savings Time. Then I ran around like a banshee changing my clocks. :annoyed2:

Yeah, I'm obsessed with keeping time. My DS, for example, is 100% accurate.

And OMG, forgot my watch! *Runs off*

Well, anyways, yes, we need DST. It was originaly done because farmers needed more sunny hours.

~Doctor! Doctor!

And they hoped that people wold use more sunlight than electricity to save cash and have fewer blackouts.

~AA

Well, AA, that's where Murphy's Law comes into play. You have to get into the habit of using less electricity before you'll save anything. So it's our fault.

~Doctor! Doctor!

It messes me up three times a year.

~Doctor! Doctor!

DST=FAIL.

Guess what? DST doesn't "work" anymore! :sarcasticlaugh:

If there was no daylight saving time, how would you know which days to not set your clocks forward and back?

Indeed, much chaos would break out as people could be setting their clocks back and forward every two days as they would not know when to not do it.

How about they just don't?

Agreed. The only thing more stupid than Daylight savings time is the bill extending it. How the he** is wasting an hour a year for more time going to increase energy efficiency?

Only question: Do we go with the daylight savings time time or the normal time?

Apparently, it has been scientifically proven that DST wastes more energy.

Hence the stupidity.

Doesn't work. It just makes it an hour darker in the morning, and thus harder to get up, and an hour lighter at night, and thus harder to sleep. Brilliant.

This is the second time I've seen this discussed on BZP Blogs, and I quite agree.
