What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?
RE: What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?
After the british empire shrank from 1/4 of the globe, to a collection of 14 little patches that combined is about the size of 1/4 of a napkin,  the sun, remarkably, still never sets on the british empire.     The man who granted the once widespread empire this last minor dignity is none other than the famous Royal Navy mutineer Fletcher Christian of HMS Bounty fame.

For an hour and half each day,  between roughly 12 and 1:30am London time,  it is night everywhere in UK and all her 14 remaining oversea possessions except for one, Pitcairn Islands in the south pacific to which Fletcher Christian and the mutineers of bounty fled, and which remains populated primarily by descendants of the original mutineers.
