What time it is depends on where you are …. except for one place on earth!

Today, what time it is depends on where you are.  Prior to the Industrial Age, time was determined by sun dials. Even with the invention of the clock, time was elusive. It remained that way until November 18, 1883, when the United States instituted standard time. Before that, ‘time’ for most Americans was what the local clocktower said it was. Then, in 1884, the international community adopted “cosmic time” which unified what time it was around the world. Today, the ‘day’ starts at midnight in Greenwich, England – known as Zulu time in the military.

Everywhere else in the world, time is standard for your zone.

Except for one place on earth.

There, you can say it is anytime you want.

Where is that place?

Antarctica.

Who was the craziest pilot in the world?
