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.
  • Supposedly, one time, terrorists blew themselves up after failing to adjust for DST and their bomb went off an hour early.
  • Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday, November 5 at exactly 2 a.m and Edmonton bars close at 1:59 to prevent an extra hour of drinking.
