Ahhh, Spring ... that time of year when we all need to remember re-set our clocks and "spring" forward.
But what's this? A chance to win a million bucks just by saving some sunshine?!
I'm getting me a big jar - 'cause I plan on winning. (Details below the fold)
Read carefully - it could be too good to be true:

And just in case you can't make out the picture, here's the text:
In light of recent change in government guidelines, the Kansas City Star announces a contest open to its readers featuring a cash prize of $1,000,000 for the person saving the most daylight during the new Daylight Savings Time (DST) period.
Publisher Brock L. Lee stated, "Starting Sunday, folks planning to enter our contest are advised to begin saving daylight. The person who has saved the most daylight by DST’s end at 2 AM on Sunday, November 2 (not that we expect contestants to be collecting a whole lot of daylight at that hour) will win our $1,000,000 prize."
Asked about the contest’s rules, Feature Editor Sara Bellum explained, "Only pure daylight is allowed. We will not be accepting any early morning twilight or evening dusk. And any contestant caught attempting to mix in some strictly prohibited moonlight with their daylight will be automatically disqualified."
Contestants are instructed to save their daylight in an appropriate container, and bring it to the Kansas City Star main office during regular business hours. (All daylight saved in conjunction with the Daylight Savings Time Contest becomes the property of the Kansas City Star and cannot be returned.)
