Did you know?

Due to the nature of my job, the start of my day often coincides with the sun rising. I could start working earlier, but it would make it a little hard to see. When thinking ahead on my schedule today, I thought I would take into account Daylight Saving Time. I knew that Bush had signed an act to push the dates two weeks longer this year and all following years pending Congressional approval.

What I didn't know and had always said incorrectly is the middle word. I had always said Daylight Savings Time, but the correct way is to not have an "s" on the end of Saving. In this case Saving is a participle modifying the word "time." It would also be more accurate to spell it out daylight-saving time, but we all know the hyphen is going the way of the dodo.

OK, I guess my last quiz was too easy for the Wild Willie. So easy, in fact, he thumbed his nose at me saying he didn't even have to check the answers. Geography snob. So here's another.

Who are the three top suppliers of oil to the United States? Answer is here (along with some other interesting facts about American supplies of fossil fuels).
