| Quote: |
The world's official timekeepers have added a "leap second" to the last day of the year, to help match clocks to the Earth's slowing spin on its axis.
The US Naval Observatory, keeper of the Pentagon's master clock, said it would add the extra second on Wednesday at 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC (23:59:59 GMT). UTC is the time scale kept by highly precise atomic clocks around the world, accurate to about a billionth of a second per day.
The extra second will be the 24th to be added to UTC since 1972, when the practice began. |
OK. You've all heard that a second can change the course of history and now we have been handed one for free. How lucky are we?
So, how are you going to spend yours? Remember: the fate of mankind could rest on what you do with it.
Personally, I thought I might scratch my arse or pick my nose. Can anyone think of a better way to spend it? |

Hmmm..that's 7pm EST in US. I'll probably have to watch another second of a Levitra commercial before Vanna White comes on stage.  |

Then it's 4 pm PST. I'll be in the car on the way to the desert. What's another second in traffic? Probably another car length traveled. |

What if you're at work at that time, the company will get a seconds free labour from everyone... that's not fair!
What about the big multi-nationals? They stand to make an hours money for every 3600 employees who are clocked in at that time. You notice how these little mistakes always seem to go the same way! What next? a tax on breathing! |

I'm being smart.
I've been saving all of mine and, in a few years time, I'll have enough to do something useful with. |
