 I don't know if anyone else has realised this fact - but 2008 will have one extra second tagged on the end of it.

This sort of fact needs to come to everyones attention, so that we can all spend that extra time wisely.

What will you be doing? (I still haven't decided!)

I think I will build a moat, with a drawbridge around my house with the extra time I have....

They explained it on the news here. Seems the earth has slowed it's rotation a tiny bit and they add a second every few years to correct the time that way. Most likely I will use that second to get a bit more sleep. I seldom stay up to greet the New Year. I always had to be to work the next morning so needed to go to bed long before midnight.
