Dave,

There was a discussion on IP some time ago about the Leap Second, but  
I haven't seen this item go by:  we're about to have one...  Happy  
New Year!

WAIT A SEC FOR LEAP INTO 2006

Get ready for a minute with 61 seconds. Scientists are delaying the

to make
up for changes in the Earth's rotation....
