Does Anybody Really Know What Time it is?
Actually, if I read the news last fall correctly, this will no longer be such a unique time ... St. George the Wise signed the new energy bill into effect last Fall, meaning that the US would be out of step twice a year. Go figure.
At least we don't live in St. Johns, Newfoundland in Canada or Darwin, Northern Territory in Australia (among a few others) who set their clocks yet another 30 minutes plus or minus to the hour ... "What do you mean, it's 4:00 ? It's only 3:30!"
Bonus question for those under 35: The title of this post comes from a song by what pop group?

So this happens twice a year now? Brilliant.
Chicago! Do I win something? Oh, wait, you said under 35. Darn.
I've lived here since 1990 and in 1994 Germany changed the moving the clock forward/back dates to be in line with other EU countries. There's an article about it at Wikipedia under "Sommerzeit".
Yeah ... its like shooting fish in a barrel if you grew up with the band
