Chavez testing the limits of time???

okay, so we ususally refrain from posting political stuff on here.

but we're always open to suggestions and willing to make an exception. you'll be glad we did once you've had a look at this.

as if changing the flag, name and official coat of arms wasn't enough, Hugo Chavez has decided to shift Venezuela's time zone by 1/2 hour, placing his country at GMT -4 1/2, as opposed to GMT-4. Supposedly, he is "seeking to move the country's time zone to offer a more equitable distribution of sunlight."

hmmmmmmm......and to think: Venezuela only entered its current time zone in the 1960s!
