Will be interesting to see if they fixed all the bugs from the last leap second day.

Happens tonight on the 61st second at the end of the day for GMT which means during rush hour for a lot of people in the US.

Am I older or younger? The answer determines my mood for the rest of the day. :eek: :lol:

I bet Rod Serling could have done something spectacular with the "missing second" from leap second day ...

They added a second.

This is the second time they have done it.

They say the earths rotation has slowed and in order to account for that they are adding time.

Google added .333333 of a second 3 times during the day to try and avoid the Y2Kish results the last time they added a full second.
