praise science! i always knew dst was wrong... WRONG!@#!$@$
ScienceDaily (Oct. 25, 2007) — When people living in many parts of the world move their clocks forward one hour in the spring in observance of daylight saving time (DST), their bodies' internal, daily rhythms don't adjust with them, reports a new study.* The finding suggests that this regular time change--practiced by a quarter of the human population--represents a significant seasonal disruption, raising the possibility that DST may have unintended effects on other aspects of human physiology, according to the researchers.


full story.

i'm of the stay up late & sleep in late chronotype so dst sux.. or it would if i worried about the time. :D

I thought the country bumpkins were against DST due to it messing with the cows getting them up earlier and s***....plus their curtains fade.

demon is definitely a bumpkin but I don't think he likes DST
if he did, he would be COOL not a DOUCHE

Does anyone actually know how climate stats work? I don't see how one year that is hotter than ever should make people panic.

HAHHAA that clipping is hilarious. Even the title is spelt wrong.

DST can suck my balls and should be erased from the history books never to be looked upon again. Much like a certain manufacturer of a great many goods.

at first she(?) seems to be of the misconception that dst would increase the amount of sunshine in a day ... then asks if it's a political plot to make ppl believe in global warming. serious study is def needed. :p

Does anyone actually know how climate stats work?


They take the average temperature of 20 or so years and set it as 0, this serves as a baseline. I think there are different baselines for different parts of the world. Then they get an average temperature for the year for various regions and it is compared to this baseline. So the world average temp for 2001 might be +1 degree celcius over the baseline. Then 2002 might be +2, 2004 +1, 2006 +3. So going by that, they say the world temperature is increasing over the year 1976-1996 baseline.

To check if it is getting hotter of the past 2000 years they have to instead rely on measurement of CO2 in pieces of ice and whatnot.

My sleep is controlled by sunlight.

I wake up at sparrows fart the moment the sun rises (usually around 4:30 - 5:00am in summer, 6:00am in winter).

Live naturally you mofo's, we're not nocturnal... f*** clocks.

f*** gaylight savings
it would make more sense to have it in winter, that way at least you would get another hour of gaylight which you pole smoking skin cancer victims obviously desire.

Other than that, f*** off, put your own clock forward an leave the rest of us alone

Was at Aus Post the other day and there was a guy whinging about payrises, I said "what are you complaining about, we probably only work 4 hours a day", then another bloke popped up and laughed "do you really think we work 4 hours?"... I just smiled and said "nop, great isn't it"

:D
