I just decided to plug 24 time zones on my iPod

But I came up one short. Turns out the GMT -2, the middle of the Atlantic, has no cities attached to it.

It's the world's most secluded time zone.

If I ever wanted to go somewhere to disappear from the face of the Earth, I think that I've found the right spot.

Anyway, I had to skip GMT -2 and go straight to next. Now I only have 23 time zones instead of 24.

Some places in the world go by a 30 minute difference. And there others places that skip one time zone when you cross them. The place with the most is Antartica, of course.

I don't even see the point of having a clock in that place.
