Everyone complains about not having enough time! Well, today you should stop; there will be an extra second added today only!Not available in stores! Free shipping! Sorry, one per order, please!
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF COUNTRIES
Those that use metric = #1 Measurement system
And the United States = The Banana system

Dear X-Air, Blick, and WeatherCat libertarians . . . .

I'm in. Trying to decide how to use it.

 [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.
