As crappy as 2008 may have been for you, not too mention how bad the economy is taking it in the shorts right now, every man, woman and child is being given, at the end of the year, a whole second. And it's absolutely free!
In case you missed it, the eggheads at the US Naval Observatory are hanging an additional second on the tailend of 2008, in order to keep the world's atomic clocks in sync. (Due to the Earth's gradually slowing spin on its axis, we're losing bits of time all the time. I think it's high time Al Gore starts beating his drum to do something about Global Timing...)
So what are you going to do with your extra bonus second this year? As for me -- I need a minute to think about that...
