1. Other - It seems to be causing some bizarre effects on times shown for posts
A while ago I made several replies that show as having been posted before the OP.

4. I prefer the extra hour of light in the evening
against having it in the morning.

8. My ex-wife was always complaining about it and failing to get with the program
Edited on Sun Nov-07-10 02:09 AM by slackmaster
After the change, either way, for several weeks she would often say things that started off with something like "Well, it's 10 o'clock which is really nine o'clock..." or vice-versa.

She also did things like set her alarm clock 20 minutes fast so she'd get up in time for work, then fritter away the extra 20 minutes because she knew the clock was set incorrectly.

We were always late to everything, because of her.

:argh:

15. 1973-1974
That was the time Nixon didn't have the hour rollback in October.

I remember walking to school in the dark and watching the sun rise in first period Algebra, after 8:00 a.m.
