TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, November 7, 2011

Greetings Infomaniacs,

Yesterday we turned the clocks back an hour, which was nice because we got to enjoy an extra hour of sleep, but not so nice because now it will be dark out when I leave work at 5 p.m. It's really a bummer when this happens since my office is in the basement and I barely get to see any light during the day. I'm going to have to get myself one of those sun lamps so I don't forget what daylight looks like!

Enjoy!
Melissa

TODAY'S MYSTERY QUOTE
QUOTE: "Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers."

HINT: (1809-1892), Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom during much of Queen Victoria's reign and remains one of the most popular poets in the English language.


RANDOM TIDBITS
The federal law that established "daylight time" in the United States does not require any area to observe daylight saving time. However, if it does decide to observe DST, it must follow the starting and ending dates set by the law.

From 1986 to 2006 this was the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October, but starting in 2007, it is observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, adding about a month to daylight saving time.

Arizona (with the exception of the Navajo Nation) and Hawaii and the territories of Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands,
Guam, and American Samoa are the only places in the U.S. that do not observe DST but instead stay on "standard time" all year long.

Most of Canada uses Daylight Saving Time. Some exceptions include the majority of Saskatchewan and parts of northeastern British Columbia.

It wasn't until 1996 that Mexico adopted DST. Now all three Mexican time zones are on the same schedule as the United States.

In the Southern Hemisphere, where summer arrives in what we in the Northern Hemisphere consider the winter months, DST is observed from late October to late March.
