Pretty stupid now though

We change them the last Sunday in October at 2 a.m..

I personally think it's a ploy to make us all confused and tired. You know...like leap year. But leap year actually has a purpose since the year is really only 364 1/4 days long so ya gotta have that extra day every 4 years.

i think its to try and compensate for the sun rising and setting at different times of the day to kinda balance out sinrise and sunset. some places dont do it anymore though.
