I've still got nine and a half hours to go. Plus the leap second. Although that article is about the UK, I assume we're doing it on this side of the pond, too. Wouldn't do for us to be out of sync!

I wonder if they'll add the extra second to the countdown at Times Square in New York tonight?

lol, I suppose you're also counting the leap second over there, unless your side of the Earth hasn't slowed down its rotation while ours has :)

Wondering how that was though...
23:59:57... 23:59:58... 23:59:59... "HAPPY NEEEEEEEEE..." 23:59:60 "EEE... [wtf! too early!] ...EEEEEEW" 0:00:00 " ... YEAR!"
(I just noticed I subconsciously drew a xkcd-comic out of that in my head :smile:)
