Riddle me this as well: what good does Daylight Savings do in, e.g., Scandinavian region countries, which have fair sized slabs of their landmasses on the North side of the Arctic Circle? I mean does somebody actually think that seeing Aurora Borealis in the dark is a proper ersatz light source over sunlight? It's dark 24 hours a day on the worst days, with only scanty lighting on the days before and after those. One can turn the clocks upside down or replace the hands with a 10 000 rpm fan, and it won't squeeze any more sunlight into the sky due to basic physics. > This is now way off-topic. It is fun though. Nihilistic semantics say we're perfectly on topic for the thread (if not for the list): running without/after sanity ... -- Arttu V.
