I suddenly feel like a small ant on a huge planet, in a massive solar system, in an immense galaxy, in a ginormous universe.

The Moon slowing down the Earth? Scary stuff...

What I don't understand is why they choose those dates. Why not use the dates when the clocks change, then people for whom a second matters (phone companies etc) would only have one lot of reprogramming to do?

Daylight saving: national
Leap second: global

That's why, I suspect.

Most European countries and a lot of the rest of the world who change their clocks twice a year use the same weekends though?

Maybe it's just too logical to combine things (men are probably in charge of time)

Okay, I have to confess to finding that extremely interesting. No doubt I'll be imparting my new found fact upon fellow revellers tonight, whether they want to know it or not...

So... do I have to buy a new computer?
