Dave Barry has a theory that Daylight Savings Time was invented because of a bet made between two Congressmen that they could get the entire nation to change their clocks biannually without ever knowing why. The only other theory I've heard has something to do with farmers and harvesting stuff in the days of yore, and since farmers only make up a small percentage of the population IIRC, I'm inclined to believe Dave's hypothesis.

In fact, the government should change the Daylight Savings Time so only the farmers have to change their clock, and everyone else can SLEEP THE HECK IN ON OCTOBER 29TH!! *grrhatekillsufferingsnortgargh*

Okay, I'm done now.
