Many have probably seen this, but I'm surprised no one has mentioned Monday's xkcd: https://xkcd.com/2050/

Thanks, hadn't seen that. Does the xkcd artist Randall Munroe read our mailing list, or is it merely a coincidence that this new panel jokes about a proposal equivalent to traditional timekeeping in Ethiopia as discussed here a couple of weeks ago <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2018-September/026817.html>? Anyway, proposed patch attached.

I believe it is entirely possible that Randall does in fact follow this list in some way, perhaps indirectly (by friends forwarding interesting items or through social media). I have some experience from another mailing list that this does happen, although no knowledge of a specific channel of transmission. -GAWollman
