There is a large "human" sundial near the beach by my house (you stand where the line tells you to depending on the date and your shadow points to the correct time). Except that the damn thing is WRONG for the entire summer which is the only time that there is reliably sunshine for it to work, and tourists interested enough to stand on it. EVERY SINGLE TIME I walk by there I feel obligated to let the confused tourists standing on the thing, who are invariably going "Huh? But that isn't what time it is. Ed are you sure you're standing right? Move back a bit. No over there. Maybe put your arms out? I don't get this. Good thing we've got digital watches, ha ha ha" know what the deal is. Daylight savings, people. I'm sure you've heard of it. Sigh.
