Rotational Change is caused by the increased friction caused by carbon diooxide spewed into the atmosphere due to the U.S.’s reliance on fossil fuels.
Fight Rotational Change NOW!

This would be a fine occasion to gather some coupons together, have a party, and watch them expire one second-later than normal.

Oh, yeah, great - just as soon as I start getting ready to retire the SOBs are adding time to the clock. Don’t TELL me it’s accidental.
To: Red Badger
If I’m pulling night shift that night, I damn well better get paid my OT on that extra second.

Well, it’s been a few years now. Back in the 70s there was one almost every year, almost all added on 12/31. The most recent was added on 6/30, I believe.
To: Red Badger
They added 2 seconds to 1972, I was in Vietnam at the time and resented it greatly. I already had an extra day because of February 29.

June 30 is a Tuesday this year.
That's fortunate, because I can better deal with a longer day if I drink, and I only drink on days ending in "y."
