Poll: Keep, Discard or Change Daylight Savings Time?

[Bluesmama]

I like it as it is. I dig the extra hour of sleep in the fall, and in spring I appreciate the light later in the evening. I'm not affected by the changes.

I just wanted to give some reasoning for why I say Daylight Savings Time, instead of the more official "Saving Time" without the s.

Kaiser Wilhelm II made the Savings Falcon helmet very fashionable in Germany, but it was not just a helmet.





Here we can see the Kaiser's Savings Falcon helmet for the fall season, note how Savings Falcon is shielding himself from the harmful effects of Standard Time. But this is not just a helmet, in the back of bird, behind the head, there is a coin slot. That's right, this helmet is also a savings bank. After it is full, you pull the right wing down and the rear tail feathers lift up, ejecting five coins for each pull of the wing. These are very rare coin banks, they were popular for only a year or so, the idea was for people to put the oil money they saved from Daylight Savings Time into these coin banks. As the war went sour for Germany, and the inflation eroded the value of coins after the War, most people destroyed their Falcon Savings banks and they have become VERY rare.

I did a google search for Falcon Savings Bank, and I could not find a single one, not on Ebay, not anywhere. I am thinking about going into business producing authentic replicas of DS Falcon banks. I think they may become very popular again.


This article is very encouraging concerning the great, great grandson of Kaiser Wilhelm II, Prince Philip Kiril of Prussia, and Savings Falcon, as he wants to reintroduce the Royal Monarchy in Germany, as a figurehead role only, much like the Royal Family in England. I hope this will bring DS Falcon back into fashion again.
