so all that means is when you do the new year countdown, you start at 11...10, 9, 8...

naguguluhan ako dito...i'll just set my cellphone to automatically update from my cell service (i assume they use the atomic clocks) and use the phone to set all my clocks at home.

The rotation of the Earth has been slowing down, so leap seconds keep the clocks and the Earth from getting out of synch with one another.

This will be the 23rd leap second that has been inserted since 1972 when an international timekeeping agreement was signed, according to the Observatory. The last one was inserted seven years ago.

bakit bumabagal ang ikot ng mundo? dami na laman tao?

if one can do what sean connery and catherine zeta jones did in the movie 'Entrapment' ($10B in 10 seconds?)...one leap second is not bad, and you can be $1B richer.
