I'm off doing stuff tomorrow, so tomorrows interesting fact is coming today.
The country of Samoa, will be going to bed on the 28th of December and waking on the 30th of December.
They will not be sleeping a whole 24 hours, instead the country is changing time zones, moving itself officially from one side of the international date line to the other.
The idea is to help with trading with other countries, where they feel they are at a disadvantage.
Challenged in September 2010 to come up with interesting facts every day by one of my work colleagues, I've since entertained him and those near his desk with bits of information dredged from my brain. Some of my audience went on holiday and still wanted the facts so I started posting here, every day I do one of them, usually Monday through Friday, and the occasional post on the weekend. I post these facts here almost every day and you will find two posts on some days to make any missing days.
