    Upon closer inspection, Osaka is 10,074 km from Omaha and has a time difference of 14 hours. However, Osaka is 9,326 km from Stuttgart, but only 7 hours. Doesn't that seem wrong to anyone else? I wonder what explains the large disparity?

      Usual US exaggeration. Quite reasonable for once ...

        Well, part of the reason I've tracked down so far is that all of Western and Central Europe insist on being on Greenwich Mean Time, even though it should really be divided into two or more time zones. I don't know who's responsible for that silliness, but I think blaming the French would be the first correct step on the road to an answer.

          I transmit your claim to the Brits who, for some specious reason, insisted for Greenwich being the origin, when most of the civilized world agreed that Paris naturally deserved to be chosen.

            Can't sleep tonight...

            I have to travel and pack tomorrow for going back to school. I'm just a little bit wired thinking about all that I need to do.

            Usually, I sleep from 12:30-8:30, any less, and I start to get rather short tempered. You don't want to see me short-tempered.
