An episode of "The Adventures of Superman" entitled "The Mysterious
|
||||
Cube," first aired 1958-02-24, had Superman convincing the controllers
|
||||
of WWV to broadcast time signals five minutes ahead of actual time;
|
||||
doing so got a crook trying to beat the statute of limitations to
|
||||
emerge a bit too early from the titular enclosure.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
The 1960s ITC television series "The Prisoner" included an episode
|
||||
entitled "The Chimes of Big Ben" in which our protagonist tumbled to
|
||||
the fraudulent nature of a Poland-to-England escape upon hearing "Big
|
||||
Ben" chiming on Polish local time.
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
The series "Seinfeld" included an episode entitled "The Susie," first
|
||||
broadcast 1997-02-13, in which Kramer decides that daylight saving time
|
||||
isn't coming fast enough, so he sets his watch ahead an hour.
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
The syndicated comic strip "Dilbert" featured an all-too-rare example of
|
||||
time zone humor on 1998-03-14.
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
Surrealist artist Guy Billout's work "Date Line" appeared on page 103
|
||||
of the November, 1999 Atlantic Monthly.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
"In what time zone would you find New York City?" was a $200 question on
|
||||
the 1999-11-13 United States airing of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"

==========================================================================
|
||||
"Good news."
|

"What did they do? Extend Daylight Saving Time year round?"
|
||||
Professional tanner George Hamilton, in dialog from a
|
||||
May, 1999 episode of the syndicated television series "Baywatch"
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
"A fundamental belief held by Americans is that if you are on land, you
|
||||
cannot be killed by a fish...So most Americans remain on land, believing
|
||||
they're safe. Unfortunately, this belief--like so many myths, such as that
|
||||
there's a reason for 'Daylight Saving Time'--is false."
|
||||
Dave Barry column, 2000-07-02

"I once had sex for an hour and five minutes, but that was on the day
|
||||
when you turn the clocks ahead."

<H2>The <samp>tz</samp> database</H2><P>
|
||||
The public-domain time zone database contains code and data
|
||||
that represent the history of local time
|
||||
for many representative locations around the globe.
|
||||
It is updated periodically to reflect changes made by political bodies
|
||||
to UTC offsets and daylight-saving rules.
|
||||
This database (often called <samp>tz</samp> or <samp>zoneinfo</samp>)
|
||||
is used by several implementations,
|
||||
including BSD, DJGPP, GNU/Linux, HP-UX, IRIX, Solaris, and UnixWare.
|
||||
In the <samp>tz</samp> database's
|
||||
<A HREF="ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/">FTP distribution</A>,
|
||||
the code is in the file <samp>tzcode<var>C</var>.tar.gz</samp>,
|
||||
where <samp><var>C</var></samp> is the code's version;
|
||||
similarly, the data are in <samp>tzdata<var>D</var>.tar.gz</samp>,
|
||||
where <samp><var>D</var></samp> is the data's version.
|
||||
The code lets you compile the text data into time zone files, one for
|
||||
each location. It also lets you read a compiled time zone file and
|
||||
interpret time stamps for that location.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
The data are by no means authoritative. If you find errors, please
|
||||
send changes to the <A HREF="mailto:tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov">time zone
|
||||
mailing list</A>. You can also <A
