[Talk] One second late from year 2005 to 2006....

[snowspring (snow)]

Hi, I just heard a news from radio and wonder if anyone heard it, too....

It's about the countdowm. It said that there is one second delay when

year 2005 go through year 2006.

Which means that we need to count like this: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,' 0 'then it's year

2006. We can't just stop at 1. We need to stop at 0.

Anyway, I just think that it's interesting.

HaHaHa...take a look at it and enjoy your countdown.

Happy New Year Everyone:)
