2017 postponed

[VapingBad]

By a second, apparently there is a leap second being added to 2016 to keep you kettles accurate.

(at least they could have added it to 2017 as 2016 was a cluster #@$%)

So when do we alter the clocks?

You probably don't, but a second delay at 23:59 would be the correct answer. All my watches loose or gain a little a month so no need to do anything other than normal once a month or whenever correction.

It is just that although I have known about leap seconds for years it's the first time I am aware of it happening, I know it don't matter because all the internet clocks will adjust but it's science in action.

Thanks for the reply VapingBad , but I wasn't being entirely serious!

hehe - yeah I read about that.

Over here they are putting in the extra second sometime aroundmid morning... or so I thought.

So I wonder what I'll do with all that extra time?
