Obamatime
Can anyone explain what's going on? I'm just curious. The DateTimeZone database I'm using gets all the time offsets right for these cities, but why do timezone maps show cities in different timezones than the ones they're actually using? It can't be Daylight Savings Time, because no region in the world is on Daylight Savings Time yet (DST begins 3/8 in the US, 3/29 in the UK, France and Spain, 4/5 in Melbourne, and Brisbane doesn't use DST).
​
It's Obama and his socialist time program, part of his plan for a socialist muslim takeover of the world ...

Re: Funny little timezones
I've always like Newfoundland time -- 1/2 hour off the other zones
