Timekeepers Make 2008 Longer By Adding 'Leap Second'
An international group of time-keepers are adding the second to the end of December 31st, and they claim it's a reaction to the slowing down of the Earth's revolution. Leap seconds have been added occasionally to the calendar since 1972, yet this is only the fourth time that it has coincided with a leap year, making 2008 the longest year since 1992.
There is little to worry about, no operating system updates necessary (unlike the changes to Day Light Savings earlier this year). Cell phone providers and operating systems will check in with the atomic clock and automatically correct the clocks without any users noticing. [From: USA Today]

A plot against Obama? That's the best you could come up with?
It has to be political, doesn't it?
O'Brien, you're a friggin' nitwit.
Where the hell do they get these writers?

It was a joke. Who's the nitwit? The professional writer or the reader who can't figure out what's serious and what is simply humor.

lol ditto to what Jennifer said, its called adding a introduction..I learned that in middle school. atleast some of our tax dollars are well spent teaching those willing to learn.
Samus AranDec 10th 2008 11:56PM
Wow. You idiots missed the point entirely. Obviously it was an attempt at humor. Go back to primary school, both of you and learn to read.
The point is that it was a *very poor* attempt. And making it political was incredibly lame. It was just a way to sneak political bias in. Boo.

If you had half a brain, you would know that Baker Pwn3d JSams.
You are a nitwit, Omnicide. More proof of the uneducated masses.
Morons.

JSams4131 - Too bad those tax dollars didn't do towards teaching you that you never use "a" before a word that begins with a vowel. "...a introduction," with the nerve to post on here about people like you being "willing to learn."

Excuse me, GO towards, not do. You are already rubbing off on me.
