When the last leap second was added on June 30, 2012, it caused issues with a number of websites, including Qantas, LinkedIn and Yelp, according to reports at the time.

With an extra second being added to the month of June to correct for the difference between the Earth's rotation and the atomic clock it is important that Aspies start planning now for what they will be doing with their extra second.

I plan on breathing in at that precise moment which will take place in Melbourne, Oz at 10.00 am on the 1st July local time, and then holding my breath for the whole second at least. It is a well known fact that during leap seconds humans are more susceptible to alien thought control waves and wearing a tin-foil hat lined with peanut butter should help mitigate this for anyone so concerned.

Oh, so that's why it failed for me last time! I didn't use peanut butter... *facepalm*

Well, now that I know how to stay safe this time around, I really don't know what I'm gonna do with all that extra time...
It'll be a long day... :tired:
