WOMAN SEEKS EXTENSION TO 24-HOUR DAY

A Manhattan woman, unsatisfied with working only 24 hours a day, has launched a plan to extend it indefinitely. Working in tandem with NASA engineers, Jennifer Tarpley, who is a school admissions director as well as a jewelry designer and mother of two, plans to move her family to a supersonic jet that will perpetually travel west. “By crossing time zones every hour, I will be able to lengthen the day indefinitely,” she said. Her husband said he supported his wife’s plan “100%,” adding that her overly ambitious schedule was “perfectly healthy,” and not a source of stress. He urged reporters not to read anything into the fact that he was speaking via courier from a safe house in Argentina.
