Leap Second

Did you know that there is going to be a second margin between 31/12/08 23:59:59 and 1/1/09 00:00:00?

its kinda weird, but its true...

Leap seconds are added to keep the atomic clocks synchronized with the Earth's rotation. This is because the Earth rotates at a slower pace over time while the atomic clocks do not slow down. Therefore, the leap second adjusts the clocks to ensure that civil time (used by clocks) is as close as possible to mean solar time (the mean sun’s hour angle).

So its official that this year, we have 31/12/08, 23:50:60
