Daylight-saving time causes more harm than§.
D aylight-

dubious, collu
sive concoc
tion or gooble-
snittle-pok?
Daylight-sav
ing time is
one of the
most con
founding phe-
ACOB
HUVAL
nomena of the modern world —
behind only the sinking of the Ti
tanic, the disappearance of Emilia
Earhardt and the sales of John
Tesh albums.
Several theories concerning the
origin of daylight-saving time
have recently surfaced. Some be
lieve it is a federal conspiracy, an
elaborate tool of government op
pression designed to create a na
tion of mindless zombies.
Others believe it is an annual
experiment conducted by aliens
from some far-away planet, test
ing human weaknesses and de
pendence on the concept of time.
And some believe Pauley Shore is
funny. All three theories are gross
ly incorrect.
Daylight-saving time was
birthed during the mid-’40s,
in the midst of World War
II, after years of research
and iab tests performed by
the celebrated Austrian sci
entist and theoretician Neil
“Big Tex” Einstein, Albert’s
younger brother.
Neil stumbled across his
now famous and nationally
observed theory of time
change and global ramifica
tions while conducting ex
periments for his previous
scientific study, published
as “Pantsing and the Hu
man Response.”
Neil’s findings went un
recognized in the scientific
community for another
decade, partly because of
the diversion of national at
tention to the war effort and
the birth of the nuclear age
— and partly because Neil
wrote his completed theory
on a cocktail napkin, which
he later used after eating a jelly
sandwich.
In a way, Neil “Big Tex" Ein
stein’s work suffered because of
daylight-saving time. And, in a
way, modern Americans’ work
suffers for the same reason.
A recent Gallup poll revealed
that 65 percent of Americans for
get about daylight-saving time
and therefore neglect to properly
adjust their schedules. Of those
65 percent of Americans who for
get about the time change, 14 per
cent care. And of that 14 percent,
only .001 percent “know when to
hold ’em, know when to fold ’em,
know when to walk away and
know when to run.”
There are scores of ways for
one to remember daylight-saving
time. The first was offered by "Big
Tex” himself, who, moments after
his discovery, tied a piece of
string around his neck.
This practice, no doubt, pro
vides an adequate reminder of the
time change, but has been criti
cized for causing a lack of oxygen
to the brain and promoting color
change in the face.
Neil’s older brother finally sug-
