Daylight

 

Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend. That means Sunday at 2am (or before-bed obv) Fall-back one hour on your clock. Fall-back because its Fall. Cheesy but effective memory technique. Check out some more DST fun below.

 

Some’ WTF’ Daylight Saving Time factoids:

  • Daylight Saving Time is done in less-than-half the world.
  • Benjamin Franklin (Founding Father of USA, electricity discoveries) had a hand in inventing this to maximize our daytime sunlight and prevent crimes at night.
  • One time terrorists blew themselves up after failing to adjust for DST and their bomb went off an hour early.
  • Daylight Saving Time activates at exactly 2 a.m and Edmonton bars close at 1:59 to prevent an extra hour of drinking.
