Interesting Facts:
~ In September 1999, the West Bank was on Daylight Saving Time while Israel had just switched back to standard time. West Bank terrorists prepared time bombs and smuggled them to their Israeli counterparts, who misunderstood the time on the bombs. As the bombs were being planted, they exploded (one hour too early) killing three terrorists instead of the intended victims--two busloads of people.
~ To keep to their published timetables, trains cannot leave a station before the scheduled time. So, when the clocks fall back one hour in October, all Amtrak trains in the U.S. that are running on time stop at 2:00 a.m. and wait one hour before resuming. Overnight passengers are often surprised to find their train at a dead stop and their travel time an hour longer than expected. At the spring Daylight Saving Time change, trains instantaneously become an hour behind schedule at 2:00 a.m., but they just keep going and do their best to make up the time.
~ In 1965, Iowa had 23 different pairs of start and end dates for daylight saving time. St. Paul, Minnesota began its daylight saving two weeks before its twin city, Minneapolis. On a 35-mile bus ride from Steubenville, Ohio, to Moundsville, West Virginia, passengers passed through seven time changes.
So if you're driving at night, does this mean you can drive for "12" hours that day?

I used to have a teacher that collected clocks. He probably had 100+...Daylight Saving Time was not a good day for him.
