Time zones are just a materialist obfuscation, anyway.



Colorful, though. Strange that they used the rainbow motif for this one.

Very interesting! Is that Iceland near the top, that they’ve put in Greenwich Mean, even though it’s geographically at the far side of Mean-1?

Hi, Kids!

Sorry I’m late, but I had some rearranging to do in here.

Notice that Iran, and Afghanistan, which straddle meridians, have split the difference and are different from everyone else by half an hour. (Figures)

Something weird about Fiji, too. It seems they flip the calendar for the International Date Line before the clock strikes twelve. That has to raise an eyebrow or two.

The Flying Castle uses white and purple. (0, -8, and +8)

The International Date Line for the Flying Castle is, “Hi! Are you with the U.N. delegation?”
