 [wink] . . . . and they call this a free country!  Some scientific yoko decides on adding a second without any consent from the voters.  Where do I sign up to opt out!?!?! >:(

It isn't like I'm likely to do anything with it anyway!  [lol2]

Cheers, Edouard  [cheers1]

No, no. They're not giving away seconds. (sounds like buffet time to me) They're stopping time for one second. Is an experiment as part of the mission to Mars.

I think.

Don't quote me on that, though.
