Halloween Horror Story - Chapter 2

Good evening children.

Halloween is just a night away so it's getting time for me to tell you another horror story for bringing you in the right mood.

This story is called

THE BANE OF "DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME"

It all began saturday evening. I went to town with some friends to have a drink or two. (ok, maybe I had more than just two drinks, but who cares)
I got home at 2AM unsuspecting that something strange will happen very soon. I was very tired so I felt asleep very soon.
As I opened my eyes at sunday morning my big analog clock on the wall in front of me told me that it was 11:00AM. I didn't really cared about it, but as I saw my cell-phone I was a bit confused. It told me that it was 10:00AM. A nother look at my analog clock on the wall approved my suspicion.

SOMETHING HAS MANIPULATED THE TIME-WARP-CONTINUUM!!!!!

Maybe I am trapped in a time-trap. Maybe I made a time travel during I was asleep!

WHAT HAPPANED TO ME!!!

I tried to find some more clocks to look what time they showed me. They all told me that it is an hour to early. I was nearly getting crazy.

So I asked my best friend - Google - for help.
What I found out was even more horrific. In 1907 someone called William Willett wrote an essay with the title "The Waste of Daylight". Because of this a lot of countries decided to create the so called "Daylight-saving-time". This means that time is different in summer than in winter. Two times a year (ones in spring and ones in fall) clocks are jumping an hour forward or backward.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! THEY ARE STEALING TIME FROM ME IN SPRING!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! THEY ARE GIVING IT BACK TO ME JUST TWO DAYS BEFORE HALLOWEEN!

WHY?
The official reason is that because of the summer-time you don't need so much electricity because sun shines longer in the evening.
Isn't that stupid? In fact a study shows that we need even more electricity, because of the summer-time, because the heating cost in the morning in the colder month are much higher.

So what is the real reason?
Think about that and happy halloween to all of you!
