    The railroads didn't start up daylight savings time, the farmers did. the railroads set up time zones. Actually, daylight savings time was set up (in the US) during WWI so that farmers had more time to work the fields so that there was more food for the troops.

    Shut it, Hoot.

    Well, actually, we don't even have Daylight Savings, so that could play some part in the problem. ;\

    you need to go into your profile and set your time zone. Otherwise it goes by GMT. Unless you live in England (or Ghana) then this is not your timezone.

    Does anybody really care? If so, I can't imagine why... we've all got time enough to cry.

    apparently the prize is Bleys humping your leg. I wouldn't bother to claim it though. Unless you want it.

    I don't have problems in DST because Philippines won't recognize it.

    Anyway, Philippines is GMT+8, so please include in the Time Offset options, if you can.

    - In Philippines, it's a rebel group.
    - In U.S. of A.,... err... do I have to tell you?
