FREEBIE - An Extra Second on The Clock

Moved to Forum: Original Link

Hi Everyone

The year of 2015 will be one second longer, with the Paris Observatory announcing a leap second will be added on June 30 when clocks will read 11:59:60pm. It means that at 11:59:59pm on June 30 for one second clocks will read 11:59:60pm.

    Thanks Op. Just what I needed.

    • Time for a crime spree.

      "No officer, it can't have been me that robbed the pharmacy. At 11:59:59 I was on camera at the service station, and at 12:00:00 I was making a deposit at the ATM"…
