BANGLADESH is setting clocks forward by an hour this weekend in its first ever daylight savings time, aimed at easing a power shortage that causes frequent outages.
The government estimates that 250 megawatts of power per day can be saved by having more daylight hours in the evening, power minister Shamsul Haq Tuku said.

That whole clock thing is bull scat. Time's time.That whole thing just messes with your internal clock.What's the difference between a Tuesday and a Sunday to a bird? Or any other creature but us? It's all about profit.
