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.

So is my computer clock gonna say 5:59:60? I hope so. Wouldn't that be great to have a screen shot of?

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!

This would be funny, I'm definitely watching the New Year celebrations this year to see if it's accounted for

Any new years countdown discrepancy would only apply for countries that follow GMT, though I am curious to see what happens. Personally im hoping every computer explodes.

An extra second? I think I'll sleep in.

[demondude]

Gives me more time to procrastinate.

[Rantz]

Maybe time will stop for a second and no one notices.

[Meat Puppet]

What, you never heard the one about the stork?

[Bunny]

Uh, how do you think you got here Bunny?

Not exactly what I meant by create life.

[Aerith's Knight]

We don't create time, we correct our time system to synchronize with the orbit of our planet. Flawed system is flawed.
