----------------------------Original message---------------------------- This is a "half empty" or "half-full" question to me. As an optomist, I like to think that a person standing precisely at the pole is in every time zone. Maybe it depends on which direction you face. But if you are a dimensionless point sitting precisely at the pole... hmmmmm >>> Rich Boardman <[log in to unmask]> 02/27/98 02:20pm >>> ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Had an unusual question yesterday. The patron wanted to know the time zone designation for the South Pole and its relation (time-wise) to Washington, D.C.It seems to me that neither the north or south poles would be in any zone. Any thoughts on this? Thanks. Rich Boardman Map Collection Free LIbrary of Philadelphia [log in to unmask]
