It's Ok If You Get To Your New Year's Eve Party A Second Late

Usually, I don't condone arriving too late at a party, you want to get all the party goodness.  But this year, you have an extra second to get ready, thanks to a leap second.  

We all wish time could stand still at least sometime.  Well it will.  The clock will hit 23:59:60 before turning to 00:00:00.  How wonderful.  I'm gonna see how much more I can party in that 1 second.  It will certainly make this New Year's Eve better than last year's.  One of the basic principles of life (in most circumstances) is more is better.  And more time to party is always better.

Apparently this isn't the first time that we had to add a second to the clock.  This is the 24th time in 38 years and the first in three years.  Our clocks must be going to fast, or the earth is going too slow.  Something isn't right though.  I guess adding a second isn't as bad as adding a day though.

This might not be big news, or even important news.  But party that extra second up in 2008.  Whoever decides that we need an extra second (who is that, by the way?), might decide not to give it to us in 2009.
