"In 1883, what industry led the movement to divide the U.S. into four time zones?" was a $32,000 question on the 2001-05-23 United States airing of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" At this rate, the million-dollar time-zone question should have been asked 2002-06-04. </li> </ul> <hr /> <ul> <li> "We're been using the five-cent nickle in this country since 1492. Now that's pretty near 100 years, daylight savings [sic]." (Groucho Marx as Captain Spaulding in "Animal Crackers", 1930, as noted by Will Fitzerald) </li> <li> "Good news." "What did they do? Extend Daylight Saving Time year round?" (Professional tanner George Hamilton, in dialog from a May, 1999 episode of the syndicated television series "Baywatch") </li> <li> "A fundamental belief held by Americans is that if you are on land, you cannot be killed by a fish...So most Americans remain on land, believing they're safe. Unfortunately, this belief—like so many myths, such as that there's a reason for 'Daylight Saving Time'—is false."
