We have an extra second coming up in just a few minutes. Don't miss it!

Phew, what a long day!

My house clocks don't know about this.. 😀

You're a second ahead! Turn back the house clocks by 1 second before it's too late.

It took down several of the big clouds. Seems some of the routers could not make that big an adjustment.

I heard about websites disappearing because of the leap second. Just proves that the IT industry obviously doesn't employ enough physicists; they would know about such things but computer scientists and 'IT experts' might not.

Oh no, the End of the World is now 2011 and not 2012.
