  1. Hadn't heard about this.

    I'll sleep in I think, maybe not time enough to get rid of the hangover though.

    Japan, like the rest of the world, will be frozen in time for one second for the New Year.

     

    On Jan. 1, 2006, a leap second will be added to Japan Standard Time to counter the small discrepancy that has emerged between solar time and the time controlled by today's super-precise atomic clocks.

     

    Japan will get its extra second just before 9 a.m. on Jan. 1, with official clocks going from 8:59:59 to 8:59:60 and then 9:00:00.
