2008 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7759281.stm) is going to be an extra second long.

So what will you do with the bonus time?

I intend to learn how to play the didgeridoo.

I will probably go and commit some serious crimes.

"In my defense your honour, the period of time which the prosecutors allege I stole 4 billion dollars never existed. Therefore I could not have possibly done it!"

Of course... I am going to have to work out how to hack into the bank, transfer the funds to my name and get out all within 1 second...

Divisbly or primely odd?

As for me, I intend to whistle in the dark. I mean, I'm having a wonderful time, but that's what I'd rather be doing. After all, that's the only thing I know how to do well, and I've often been told that I only should do what I know how to do well, and that's be me.

Be what I'm like.

Be like myself.

Of all the fucking years to lengthen... it already had an extra day, wasn't that enough?

Or at least a Flavor Flave kind of clock necklace.

I'm sorely tempted to change my degree from zoology to astrophysics just so I could have a shot at getting that job.
I would make everyone adress me by my full title everytime they talked to me.

I wish I had Dr. Dennis McCarthy's job, "world director of time." I would only use my time-control powers for good, though.

This is quite fitting. I just came to the realization that 2008 could officially be considered the worst year of my life, and now I learn that its longer than all the rest.

In this second granted to me by God and Professor Brian Cox, who, in joint effort, pulled several stray strands of time out of the infinite variety of the cosmos to create a single instant where there was nothing before, I am going to . . .
ADJUST MY BELT!

Okay, so that's pretty lame and totally not worth the build up. But what else am I going to do with one second?

I think it's a fairly safe bet that Professor Brian Cox has been sent by God to be our new Lord and King in the New Year. He's the only man I know with the power to change time itself.
