I read this study in college that said the more confident you are that you are correct, the more likely you are to be wrong.

Based on personal experience, I buy that. Thanks for the cookie!!

Continuing the off topic fun, I thought I'd remind us Brits that we're switching back to GMT from BST this weekend.

As if we needed any more daylight. Just as it was getting nice and dark too. angry.gif

...Daylight Savings Time is -ending-. Sun sets earlier now unless your Daylight Savings Time is weird.

Isn't it always, grey, dreary and raining there?? mellow.gif Yes the only thing about England I know is when my friend was modeling over there and living in London, she had just come from a 6 month stay in Milan, so she may have been over exaggerating some... but all I heard was: grey, dreary, raining.... meh.gif

....hm. Are you sure about that? If it's "daylight savings" it implies that you're getting more daylight.

Also, it is normally gray and dreary, however it does not rain nearly enough, and when it does it's all tropical these days (apparently due to global warming, but I don't know). angry.gif

If daylight savings was ending it would be getting darker.

I am informed that yes it is getting darker in the evenings. It can't be different in America and England, can it? mellow.gif

About global warming, I'm not a skeptic (or sceptic, according to you British tongue.gif), but I doubt that individual weather trends have much to do with it. Which is why www.globalwarming.org is wrong. (Tips from my Earth Science teacher, heh)

I can't believe I almost missed out on all this wonderful Brit-bashing material. What a shame. Two days it went without being properly stroked and sequestered. I'm slacking!

Besides the fact that one is over there and another is way over somewhere else? tongue.gif I don't even have DST, if you want to compare how different countries can be.
Shiri2006-10-29 15:05:26
I thought it was a worldwide thing. Can't work out why I thought that though, since you equatorial buggers don't have the same seasons as us etc... Nevermind. dry.gif
Daganev2006-10-29 22:06:39
Are there any stats out there as to how many people we got at peak time during hte 30% bonus?

Or who wracked up the most xp during that time?

No no we have sun (Even though it doesn't seem to work since we're -still- freezing half to death during it) and we get frost instead of snow sleep.gif . If you want to experience every time of weather, come to England. Or to Scotland. Then you'll know what cold really is biggrin.gif tongue.gif

Firstly:

Our schooling system hasn't been crawling out of the sewer as you put it. Instead, it's slowly sliding into it.


Yah. Like that's any better. I always thought it seemed to reach the outside, go back down, then repeat cycle.

Cold is Canada, Rushia, and the Antartic. Canadians laugh at England weather, and wear shorts in it.

Brit bashing is fun anyway. It's nice to make all the suckier countries(Hello Americaaaaa!) think they have some of our greatness closedeyes.gif

Getting more daylight in the -morning- only, any of us who are night owls will be seeing less daylight. Also, in the northern hemisphere we're getting -less- daylight as it's approaching winter. (The people who made it up didn't care about the southern hemisphere, or late risers.) You can't actually fiddle with a clock and somehow make the sun give you more light, they just appropriated 1 hour of sunlight from the afternoon to the morning is all.

Edit:Well technically daylight savings time is 'on' during the summer(northern hemisphere), not the winter, so just reverse all of that, but it's still all correct. It's all about allowing businesses to open at a set time, and not having an hour of sunlight go by in the morning when everyone is still sleeping in the summer, so they pushed that hour into the afternoon, it's part of the reason it's light so far into the night in the summer; 9:30 and still light? blink.gif Whereas the sun set this afternoon around 5:30. glare.gif It's not perfect, but it serves it's purpose.
