34: (U.S. title <em>Stairway to Heaven</em>)
35: there is a reference to British Double Summer Time.

37: it's just a passing reference to the time when one of the
38: characters was supposed to have died (but didn't).

50: The premise of the 1999 caper movie <em>Entrapment</em> involves computers
51: in an international banking network being shut down briefly at
52: midnight in each time zone to avoid any problems at the transition
53: from the year 1999 to 2000 in that zone. (Hmmmm.) If this shutdown
54: is extended by 10 seconds, it will create a one-time opportunity for
55: a gigantic computerized theft. To achieve this, at one location the
56: crooks interfere with the microwave system supplying time signals to
57: the computer, advancing the time by 0.1 second each minute over the
58: last hour of 1999. (So this movie teaches us that 0.1 × 60 = 10.)

504: The idea behind daylight saving time was first proposed as a joke by
505: Benjamin Franklin. To enforce it, he suggested, "Every
506: morning, as soon as the sun rises, let all the bells in every church
507: be set ringing; and if that is not sufficient, let cannon be fired in
508: every street, to wake the sluggards effectually, and make them open
509: their eyes to see their true interest. All the difficulty will be in
510: the first two or three days: after which the reformation will be as
511: natural and easy as the present irregularity; for, <em>ce n'est que le
512: premier pas qui coûte</em>."
513: <a href="http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/franklin3.html">Franklin's
514: joke</a> was first published on 1784-04-26 by the
515: <em>Journal de Paris</em> as <a

528: <br>
529: DRUMMOND. That Eastern Standard Time? (<em>Laughter.</em>) Or Rocky Mountain
530: Time? (<em>More laughter.</em>) It wasn't daylight-saving time, was it? Because
531: the Lord didn't make the sun until the fourth day!
532: <br>
533: (From the play <em>Inherit the Wind</em> by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee,

544: "A fundamental belief held by Americans is that if you are on land, you
545: cannot be killed by a fish...So most Americans remain on land, believing

547: there's a reason for 'Daylight Saving Time' – is false."

576: yesterday daylight [saving] time ended. Right now it's basically
