More on daylight savings

So it turns out that the letter published in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette complaining that early Daylight Savings Time was exacerbating global warming was, as I suspected, a prank.

According to Snopes.com, a fairly reliable investigator of urban mythology, Mr. Meskimen’s phone message now says, “If you are calling about the Daylight Savings Time letter and wish to explain global warming or daylight savings time to me, I would urge you to get a sense of humor and/or a life, in that order. Unless, of course, you want to pay me for an interview; if so, please leave your telephone number and I will expediently return your call.”
