I once read of someone advocating moving the extra day in Leap Year to June so we'd have one more day of summer instead of one more day of winter.

I think I can beat that. I was once standing at the edge of Niagara Falls (Canadian side) watching water pouring over the falls. Some guy next to me commented "What a waste of water".

The funny thing about that is that they divert about 3/4 of the water through hydroelectric turbines rather than over the falls. The falls must have been truly tremendous before that happened.
