Venezuela creates own time zone

Venezuela creates its own unique time zone on Sunday, putting the clock back half-an-hour on a permanent basis.

President Hugo Chavez says that an earlier dawn means the performance of the country will improve, as more people will wake up in daylight.

Think this is actually pretty cool.

Can we do the same for student villages in the UK? I'd have loved to have seen the sunlight when I was a student.

^Funniest post I've seen in a looooong while!

but I think the real question is, will they actually be complimentary? Isn't Chavez the one that called Bush "satan" a while back?

Curious...

Wonder if it will actually make a difference... 🙄

On other news, Chavez has created his own new reality zone...🙄

This is what the US has daylight savings time for. Why not just adopt it? 30min will screw things up more for travelers than going back an hour.

Who cares how the US does things. The world uses a standard time system and Chavez wants to go do things differently just because he can.

For those who didn't read the news article see this bit from the bottom.

Small time differences are hardly unique, however.

Canada's Newfoundland province is half-an-hour out of step with other Atlantic provinces.

Pakistan is only half-an-hour behind India, while Nepal is a mere 15 minutes ahead of its large southern neighbour.

Western Australia and South Australia observe a 90-minute time difference across the state boundary.

However, the remote border town of Eucla and the surrounding area, home to a few hundred people, operates on its own time zone, 45 minutes ahead of Western Australia and 45 minutes behind South Australia
