In regard to Charlie Mead's question about biological clocks.
Our biological clock has been studied. Studies indicate that people who are
isolated from daylight and other temporal cues end up following a 25 hour
rhythm.
The human biological clock of course doesn't work in a vacuum. It is in
fact regulated by the cue of daylight and darkness. This is how people
recover from jetlag so quickly. (In fact some blind people have trouble
maintaining a normal cycle, while other blind people do not)

>>The recent discussions on the EOT have sparked a question in my amateur
dialist mind:
Are there any data on whether our biological clocks run on solar time or
clock time ???
(Jet-lag, I think, is another matter).
If not, this would be a fascinating project for some budding graduate
student.
