Time Travel and being Unlucky

Every one of you just time traveled without knowing it. At 2 o'clock this morning, all of you traveled exactly one hour into the future. You have actually been doing this your entire life, without being aware. It is because of DST (daylight savings time), which is actually lucky, because we woke up an hour later than usual. While it gives us more sleep, it is still odd to think that that was a whole hour that everyone missed. The only part of it anyone got to enjoy was the 10-20 seconds it takes to reset a clock's time, which is a small portion of the 60 minutes.

While this isn't hazardous in any way, it still shows that the human race has figured out how to bend the rules of time to skip an hour of the day at two in the morning. Imagine, one hour of the day got skipped, and no one got to live it. How does this happen, wouldn't clocks gradually go forward 30 seconds every night, instead of the massive jump? Anyways, it is just an odd thing to think about.

Today is the 13th, not a Friday, but still the 13th, so it will be unlucky. This may not have a large affect, but it is still the 13th, so I am wary of it. This could be one of the 12 unluckiest days of the year, so you better watch out. I don't know how this will affect play practice, but I hope it doesn't have a strong affect judging that we get the run time today!

  1. VERY well-written. I like how you weave all of the strands of your observation into the general point and how the tone fits. The picture also adds that much more to the overall slice. Nice job!
