So is my computer clock gonna say 5:59:60? I hope so. Wouldn't that be great to have a screen shot of?Quote:
The new extra second will be added on the last day of this year at 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds Coordinated Universal Time — 6:59:59 pm Eastern Standard Time.
In an old Ninja Turtles episode Baxter Stockman was sent ahead 1 second in time.
5...4...3...2...1...um...1....HAPPY NEW YEAR! :p
This would be funny, I'm definitely watching the New Year celebrations this year to see if it's accounted for :DQuote:

An extra second? I think I'll sleep in.
Gives me more time to procrastinate. :cool:
Maybe time will stop for a second and no one notices.
So we can create time but we can't create human life?
Uh, how do you think you got here Bunny?
What, you never heard the one about the stork?
Not exactly what I meant by create life.Quote:

This isn't the first time we've done this. I remember doing it a couple years back.
If we all just used sundials, this wouldn't happen. :p
I just use NTP on computers and let it sort it's own clock out for me :p
