Before you hit the sack tonight, don't forget to set your clock ahead one hour for Daylight Saving Time, which begins at 2 a.m. Sunday.

Daylight Savings is weird..............how do you save daylight? I'm lucky I live where we don't observe that weird, ummm......... tradition 
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?

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:

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.

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?

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:
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.
