This ought to fuck with our sleep schedules this year:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200507/s1422391.htm I love how perfect humans try to be with our silly, but necessary, clocks. It does make one wonder if now, having all the equipment and knowledge to be truly precise, we should just go ahead and add a few seconds to each minute so we never have to play catch up again. Although, I do enjoy leap days. And I like old clocks. And if, say, this time adjustment actually happened, and I happened to have an old clock, I'd either have to pay a bunch of money to have the thing retro-fitted or join one of the underground time clubs that would certainly pop up (where folks would secretly gather and celebrate anachronistic leap days).
