Leap Second
Making my sweet sweet vacation just a tiny bit longer, a whole extra second will be inserted into the space time continuum in less than an hour.
On December 31, 2008 a “leap second” will be added to the world’s clocks at 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This corresponds to 6:59:59 pm Eastern Standard Time, when the extra second will be inserted at the U.S. Naval Observatory’s Master Clock Facility in Washington, DC.
