It started, quite literally as a firmly tongue-in-cheek article by Benjamin Franklin in a French publication, and later was foisted on us by moronic congressmen. (Oops, excuse me, I did not mean to repeat myself with "moronic congressmen" -- and yes, I believe they all were men the first time around at least). Of course the very idea that some place in the Middle East (or at either pole; East Lansing, MI; Mavinga, Angola; Gasa, Bhutan; or ... well you get the idea) is patently absurd.

But, daylight saving time seems odd to me -- we do fine without it in Hawaii. Mecca time is too silly to comment on (or publish in a science page).
