Blake Schwendiman's Blog and Blook

As a public service I am kindly reminding all of you in the United States (unless you happen to live in Arizona, Hawaii or parts of Indiana, which if you do, you should read something more interesting) that this weekend begins the long-awaited arrival of Daylight Wasting Time. Daylight Wasting Time is, of course, the opposite of Daylight Saving Time which is the time of the year in which we rejoice in the saving of daylight (a process that is very complicated to explain).

Now, if you have any questions about exactly what this means, please see this article.

What I like best about that article is the overwhelming amount of unrelated information jam-packed into a two-page read that is both enlightening and unnerving at the same time. If you don't have time to read the entire article, here is the short list of questions that can be answered therein:

• What are the stages of sleep?
• How can I get a good night's sleep?
• What is Daylight Saving Time?
• When exactly does Daylight Saving Time expire this year?
• What events might I miss or be early for if I forget to fall back?
• What are the origins of Daylight Saving Time
• When do timekeepers play softball?
• If I live in Indiana, are there any forthcoming Daylight Saving Time surprises?
• If I live in the United States, are there any forthcoming Daylight Saving Time surprises?
• When we wake up, why do we have crust in our eyes?
• Why does your breath smell so bad when you wake up?
• Why do we snore?
• Why is yawning contagious?

What I realize now as I finish this entry is that by blogging about the aforementioned article, I am actually condensing it even further and therefore providing more information in less surface area. And just to prove that you can even pack one more piece of unrelated information into any web site, Mr. Sulu is gay.
