Damn, now I gotta reset all the clocks. I swear, worse than daylight saving time.

[Gay State Conservative]

Great...now I’ll be one second early for all my appointments.Or is it one second late?

[moovova]

So much for my threat to leave the country if Obama is in power one second more than four years.

[upchuck]

Ping.

[SMGFan]

[SkyDancer]

[Bryanw92]

An extra second? Is that good or bad? I don’t know whether to blame Bush or praise Obama!

Newton’s Law....and he did it without the benefit of computers.

Obviously, we are devolving, as well as the speed of the earth’s rotation.

Not only is Obama slowing down the economy, he is slowing down the rotation of the planet.

[Beagle8U]

I was going to reply but forgot what I was going to say. Give me a sec...

[catfish1957]

Not only is Obama slowing down the economy, he is slowing down the rotation of the planet.

The planet was slowed down by the first Wookie shaking her ass in the whitehouse.

Solution: Blame Bush the moon.

Step one: arbitrarily pick a technology to define the year in order to keep our technological society synchronized.

Step two: refine the technology and realize that the year varies in a length according to the technology, which may itself be a little variable.

Step three: act as if it matters — like a metric system built on powers of ten which nevertheless initially defined the meter using ONE QUARTER of the Earth’s circumference. Sort of.

This is an ‘extra, extra’ ping to some lists, hope your weekend is great, and long.

[SunkenCiv]

Dang, I would have thanked you up there, but didn’t see yours in time. Thanks upchuck!

On the day of the solstice Steve Doocy said it was the longest day of the year, then corrected himself saying it was the day with the most daylight, since every day is 24 hours long.

He was wrong--one day this year is the longest day, and it's today.

[SunkenCiv]

LOL!

I would think we should praise 0bama. He should make campaign ads... I'm Barack 0bama and I'm so awesome, I just gave everyone an extra second of life. What the hell, he doesn't have anything else to run on.

[Huskrrrr]

An extra second of sleep!
