Movie runtimes should be given on DVD cases, on IMDB and in studio publicity as

  • Minutes only

It’s time to change the clocks, yet again.

You think we should:

  • change the clocks 1 more time, then never again (daylight saving time forever)
  • starting now never change the clocks again (standard time forever)
  • keep changing the clocks twice a year
  • why don’t we change clocks even more often to keep it interesting?

0 voters

  • I don’t care whether we settle on standard time or daylight savings time. Just pick one, either one, and then stop changing it.
  • Other.

0 voters

  • I used to not care until I heard a sleep scientist say that standard time is better for people’s sleep patterns. Something about the earlier sunrise helps you wake up more easily.
  • Hey, this is a transparent attempt to get around the “no discussion” rule!
