    Well, quite a few years ago there was a stretch when DST for the US stated on first Sunday in April and ended on the last Sunday in October. And we still have the joy of remembering which parts of the US change for DST and which few places don't make any time change.

    Canadians here how dafuq do you cope with this weather.

    One second it is -1 and snowing then it is eight degrees. I was joking with a woman in Dollarama and she pointed out a guy wearing sandals.

    The hell is this?!

    I think Arizona doesn't recognize DST, but I'm not sure.

    Arizona doesn't (except, apparently, in the Navajo tribal lands) and Hawaii doesn't. I thought maybe half of Indiana didn't because the state was in two time zones, but things may have changed since I last checked.

    Well, there's 24-HOUR COMICS DAY, which was what DC recently linked it's blank issues for Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman to.
    Also, the guy at my comic book shop said a lot of people buy them to use for artist sketches at comic cons and such since they are a lot lighter than carrying around a full-blown sketchbook. You can have artists do all Batman Family-related characters in the Batman book so that you have a faster way of finding those sketches, then have people do Superman-related sketches in the Superman issue, and so on.

    Well, that reminds me to buy fresh batteries for my smoke detectors this weekend. I always change them when the clocks are set forward or back.

    Thanks for making it clear, Major. I suspected artists as target audience but wouldn't know exactly how and why

    He's still got it. The past 3 times I've seen him he's been brilliant. I've got tickets for the 5th row from the stage too. Over the moon!
