Time zones

Earlier today as I was completing the digestive process (going number two), a weird thought popped into my head. I wondered which time zone in the world is the most populous. After a brief web search I think I have my answer:

Since all of China is located in one time zone, you've got more than a billion people in one zone.

In the US, the Eastern time zone has more people than any other, and about half the country's population lives in the land of 9 pm Monday Night Football.



Go here for all your got-to-have-'em-now time zone facts and help avoid awkward silences the next time you and your lady are out for a malt. This page will tell you what the earth currently looks like to a lunar cartoonist.



And of course, there's Negativland's classic song "Time Zones". I don't have a link to that, but I did find this, which sums up all the time I wasted on this post.

Post-modern cheekiness writ large.
Sweetlike nightmare corresponds.
Motherless wrecking desperation.
Thorniest simperer acknowledges.
