Many people believe that Ben Franklin (elected minister to France in March of 1779), was the one who first proposed the concept of Daylight Savings. His famous quote, “Early to bed, early to rise; makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise," helped to create that perception. However it wasn’t Franklin’s idea, but actually New Zealand entomologist George Vernon Hudson (as everyone knows, Hudson was a passenger on the Sub-Antarctic Islands Scientific Expedition which set sail in November 1907 to study and classify insects). One of Hudson’s famous quotes is “Now I’ll have more time to look at bugs”. (March - Franklin = Forward. November - Bug Boat = Back).
