Personally I can't really see the point either, but eh, it's what we do. Yeah, here in Europe we follow the saving-thingy. We also drive on the right side of the road, unlike those of you silly enough to drive on the wrong side.Rawr wrote::lol: Daylight Savings is weird..............how do you save daylight? :lol: I'm lucky I live where we don't observe that weird, ummm......... tradition :headbang: Do people in Europe and Asia do this too? or is it just a weird American thing, like driving on the right side of the road? :mrgreen:

Well this was invented by americans so to speak to save on candlewax back in the day....Saturo wrote:Personally I can't really see the point either, but eh, it's what we do.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_savings#OriginWikipedia wrote:During his time as an American envoy to France, Benjamin Franklin, author of the proverb, "Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise," anonymously published a letter suggesting that Parisians economize on candles by rising earlier to use morning sunlight.[15] This 1784 satire proposed taxing shutters, rationing candles, and waking the public by ringing church bells and firing cannons at sunrise.[16] Franklin did not propose DST; like ancient Rome, 18th-century Europe did not keep precise schedules. However, this soon changed as rail and communication networks came to require a standardization of time unknown in Franklin's day.

Re: Daylight Savings time tonight
It depends. Swedish winters are either VERY bright or VERY dark. If there are ANY clouds it's dark and grey, if it's a clear sky it's brighter than you could possibly imagine from all the snow.cowmuflage wrote:Um is sweden like in winter anit it like dark all the time? Or am I thinking of iceland. Hmm mum just lols at me when I ask her.

Actually, driving on the wrong left side of the road is unique to the British (and some of their former colonies, I believe).Rawr wrote: Daylight Savings is weird..............how do you save daylight?

You have to be of a high enough latitude for the sun to never rise during the winter (and never set during the summer). Someof Sweden does experience that, but most of the country doesn't.cowmuflage wrote:Um is sweden like in winter anit it like dark all the time? Or am I thinking of iceland.

As for your second question, not all counties in the US observe DST. It's weird.
