In his announcement of a Daylight Savings Time contest Bob Ellis, the Eldorado Daily Journal‘s managing editor, promised: “All entries will be donated to less fortunate nations that do not observe Daylight Savings Time.” The Eldorado Daily Journal asked its readers to save daylight during Daylight Savings Time, and has offered a prize for the person who saves the most. The rules are simple: “Beginning with the first day of Daylight Savings Time, those entering the contest must begin saving daylight. Those who save the most daylight by midnight of the last day of Daylight Savings Time will be awarded a prize.” “Only pure daylight is allowed. No pre-dawn light or twilight will be accepted. Daylight on cloudy days is allowable. Moonlight is strictly prohibited and any of it mixed with daylight will bring immediate disqualification.” “Contestants are instructed to save their accumulated daylight in any container they wish, then bring the container to the Daily Journal office at the end of DST — or when they think they have saved enough daylight to win.” G | ||

LOL, thanks man! I just sent that to my chaplain Sister. Just reset all (?) my clocks, including the coffeemaker and my wristwatch. | ||

I am not allowed to reset my watch until dawn.... or it explodes. Citizen eco drive. It takes, literally, hours to fully click over to the next day, and thus cannot be reset from late evening to well after 6 am. That said, it does run on thermonuclear fusion, and keeps excellent time. The only bad thing is I bought it online, and the grey face that looked so cool in the picture, only looks that cool in very bright light, so the watch is just black, blank, and unreadable most of the time. Perfect. |
