        Yes the American wanted to be different and Canada followed because we would be too screwed up if we didn't.

          Different?
          I do believe that in order to want to be different, you can't be the originator

              You really aren't saving time, you just move it around.

              Ben may have thought he was saving time, but time zones were created by Sir Sandford Fleming.

                  The computer clock changed itself, and so did the cell phone. That's half the work done!

                  By the way, Ben Franklin did not invent Daylight Saving Time either. The proper originator should be William Willett.
                  About Daylight Saving Time. United States Law 15 U.S.C. ¶6 (IX) (260-7) Time zones and daylight saving time; United States Code Title 15 - Commerce and Trade; Chapter 6 - Weights and Measures and Standard


                  The original proposal was chaging the clock 20 minutes each Sunday for 4 weeks resulting in a total change of 80 minutes twice a year, but was adopted into law during WWI as the one-hour change that we now use.

                    I had that thought on my mind last week just when I met up at work, just a little too late. My boss asked me why I was there at work 1 hour too early. I said my duty is starting in 15 mins.. He then said *Make that 1h15mins. Fool, you forgot to turn your clock back 1 hour. *Rolleyes* I then just decided to do my work and went home 1 hour early than "expected". You guys ever experience that kind of stuff ?

                      Never. I can't imagine going to work an hour earlier than schedule.

                      You fool!

                          Well that's what happens when working overtime, By the way that fool love his work, so meeting up "one hour" early, its not really a big thing. I get the job done and I went home 1 hour earlier than expected... Atleast they compensated the lost hour
