"Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ..." — er, to Official Real Time, upon this day when we do violence once again to our circadian clocks.

You know what I want to know?  Has anyone ever checked to see if there's more traffic accidents the Monday morning after DST begins?

Abolish timezones altogether? But then I'd have to go to work at 1600 and wouldn't get off until 0030! I'd miss all my favorite shows!

Wait a minute -- you didn't say the single global timezone had to be UTC. Never mind, we'll just make sure PST is the world standard. Or PDT, to save energy!

Hey, wait — that's brilliant! PST is zone H; but what if we standardize the world on zone K? It's halfway across the Pacific — energy consumption there is almost zero!
