I'm glad the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service is doing its job. Rather than doing the "hack" that is the leap second, clearly they've managed to change the rotating speed of the earth to match reality, this year.
Oh, come on, how often do you get to see an official memo addressed "to authorities responsible for the measurement and distribution of time?" Not very often, is how often. FUN.
