Albert Einstein theorized the famous equation E=mc2 over 100 years ago, yet we continue to struggle with figuring out something as simple as time. Einstein with his simple equation debunked the hypothesis that time was a constant, yet we continue to fixate our lives to the almighty clock. This past weekend being the “spring forward� to adjust for daylight saving, I remembered (more than once) to set my alarm clock forward and woke up a good hour early, it’s funny if you think about it, but then why think.

Read this instead, this year the folks of Indiana are observing daylight saving for the first time in over 30 years. Aside from thousands showing up early to work (or late), 18 counties managed to petition their zone match with Chicago, meaning with the Central Time Zone, leaving the other 74 counties in Eastern Time Zone. The only ones who cheered this dim-witted idea were happily walking across county lines to get an extra hour at the bars.

Just when you start wondering why things couldn’t be simpler, something more bizarre comes your way. Sri Lanka (a country the size of West Virginia) wound its official clocks back by half hour, to match its 1990 time standards. Sri Lanka is a good 5 and half hours ahead of GMT, which is the mathematically average of the two times zones it falls between. It would be of interest to note that this is the third time the official time has been altered in the past decade. Apparently the Buddhist monks complained of their (timely) routines being out of sync, even the Zen masters can’t figure it out.

But did I mention I managed to get an hour of extra sleep on Monday, the day most Americans got an hour less simply by messing up my alarm.
