A "Wise Ol Indian Chief" on daylight savings time.
To quote the "Chief": "leave it to the government to think that cutting a foot off the top of a blanket and adding it to the bottom of the blanket, will make the blanket longer!"
I believe its the "Clock timer" Held in the highest Esteem of the "Time Changes" He has many hands to his time. Throughout the worlds He can bend time forward? backward?

Conrad73: and the Hamsters aren't far behind!
My quote comes from the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, which also gives us the answer to the universe
42
In Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, 42 is the number from which all meaning ("the meaning of life, the universe, and everything") could be derived.
A BBC radio script based on Adams' book contains the following lines:
("Cave man" lays out following sentence in Scrabble stones: "What do you get if you multiply six by nine?") Arthur: Six by nine? Forty-two? You know, I've always felt that there was something fundamentally wrong with the Universe. (Faint and distant voice:) Base thirteen!
For the literal-minded and those unfamiliar with terms like "base thirteen," this is a number system in which the number 10 is equivalent to our more familiar decimal 13. A base-13 number 42, therefore, is the same as four 13s plus 2, or decimal 54. So "six by nine" (six times nine) or decimal 54 is, in base 13, 42. For the mystically inclined, 42 in base 13 is the same as 101010 in binary (base 2). This could mean almost anything, and many Adams fans have spent untold hours discovering all of the places where the number "42" pops up. For example, there are many mentions of the number in the Book of Revelation. Others have made a game of finding 42s, such as these:
The angle at which light reflects off of water to create a rainbow is 42 degrees. Two physical constants in the universe are the speed of light and the diameter of a proton. It takes light 10 to the minus 42nd power seconds to cross the diameter of a proton. The sum of the ordinal alphabetic positions of the initials (SPG) for Stan (P.) Gibilisco, an oft-published science and technology writer, is equal to 42 (S=19, P=16, G=7). A barrel holds 42 gallons. (It should be noted that all of these 42s are base 10, not base 13.)

While Australia was asleep our freedom was taken away for dubious reasons. Don't you remember our most favourite PM? Children overboard, disarming Australia, indefinite detention, cracking down on whistle-blowers, taking away the independence of the High Court, the ABC network, the Indian doctor's case? I could go on and on.
Some time ago the police killed a young guy in Sydney for steeling a packet of biscuits.
Or were you watching movies while all these happened?

I've read Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy. I remember the Infinite Improbability Drive.
People laugh but they don't realize the one group that does control the world. They are the obscenely rich and they use their power to control certain political parties and entities like the stock markets!
You make them mad? They manipulate the stock market and garner more millions!
Depends. If you're a pathetic lowlife with a boring (or no) job who's resentful of his position and place in life then your answer to this question is probably going to be yes.

funxsinia: Dude I thought we ruled the world! oh crap forgot to put my disguise on...I'm really not very good at this clandestine secret society stuff!
No worries, I`ve got you covered , I`ll be the pathetic lowlife for both of us...
Strongman puts on a Show,squeezes a Lemon dry,then calls on anyone in the Audience to get three more drops of Juice out of the Lemon! Prize would be 500$! That little Man comes up on Stage,takes the Lemon,and squeezes another half Cup out of it! Strongman grudgingly pays those 500$ over,but wants to know how that pintsized Man achieved it! Little Man says,"Well,I am a Tax-Collector by Profession"!
So,you see,there is always something left for the Taxcollector!
