If only I had more time…

I know so many people that are always saying that. Oh what they could do with more hours in a day, more days in the month, an extra week. Well, here’s their chance. This year they will get some extra time. All of… 1 second. :mrgreen: That’s right, one whole second to spare.

It seems that the inconsistent rotation of the earth causes a disparity with the incredibly accurate atomic clocks of modern times and so occasionally “leap seconds” are needed to even things out. This year the procedure will begin at 23:59:59 GMT on December 31, when the standard-setting atomic clocks around the world will then show 23:59:60 GMT before moving to their usual 00:00:00 GMT, which will mark the arrival of January 1, 2006. So for us here that will happen around 7:00p.m.

So what will you do with your extra second??

Right now I am feeling kinda restless emoticon restless and tired (yawn) emoticon tired (yawn)...

One really fast scratch will do it. I on the other hand will use that second to… what the hell… it will go by so fast, I’ll forget that I had it.
