The interesting thing about time zones is that they also changed over time... A random example from another email I received today: The official history from some well-research Unix timezone work has Nepal being 5:41:16 ahead of GMT until 1920, then 5:30 until 1986, and now 5:45 ahead, which is closer to their older value. See the TZ package if you want to open this particular topic... YA
