You *do* realize the true origins of LCM, though, don't you? LCM, back in
the mid-60's, was born out of necessity. The stoners on the west coast,
those free-wheeling, ragamuffin youths, would party all night. This left
them extremely groggy in the morning, when it was time to go to work. Their
solution, simple yet elegant, was to just turn the clocks back three hours!
Why hadn't they thought of that sooner?! So, that's what they did. Soon, the
rest of the country caught on to their devious plan, but could not stop
them, due to their sheer numbers. So, instead of stopping them, the rest of
the country was forced to adapt. The reasonable solution was to create a
*gradual* time change from ICT to LSM. Thus were born WAUTTZe and WAUTTZw
(Who Actually Uses This Time Zone [east] and [west]).
