That's actually quite interesting; it makes good sense to just fix on a convenient time zone. At such extreme southern and northern latitudes day and night have more to do with the calendar than the clock. posted by Songdog at 8:24 PM on April 27, 2006

It occurs to me that Superman wasted an awful lot of effort flying circles 'round the earth to turn back time. Obviously, he should have simply walked a couple of times around the south pole. Easy-peasy posted by Zero Gravitas at 8:20 AM on April 28, 2006
