Daylight savings responsible for drought says Albury man
There must be something about Border town's. You might remember the Mount Gambier woman’s unsuccessful Darwin Awards attempt back in August. Well here's a letter from the letters to the editor section of Border-Mail (which is a newspaper that originates from the Albury/Wodonga region - on the border between Victoria and New South Wales) on the 1 October 2008.
Basically, the writer theorizes that daylight savings is the cause of the drought. Apparently daylight savings, and the "one extra hour of sun is slowly evaporating the moisture out of everything". I really hope it's a joke, but sadly, I'm not convinced that it is.
I'm hoping that the author of the letter hooks up with the Mount Gambier woman, and that they have off-spring. Now that would be an interesting scientific study!

dear chris,
the main purpose of daylight saving time is to make better use of daylight. perhaps you should use the extra hour of sunlight each day to deal with it.

This is funny. Of course the extra hour of dark during the winter would counteract the effects
Maybe the extra hour of darkness in winter causes a build up of mildew and mold, which we then need to use extra water to clean, which in turn leads to increased water usage. It’s a vicious cycle.

Well we in the west are trialling daylight saving to see if its any good and 75% don’t want it. There are several just as stupid reasons given. So how dopey do we look.
Daylight savings is the best time of the year! I can’t think of a good reason not to have it.
Wait a sec; Benjamin Franklin invented day-light savings time. How old is this guy?
