It would take of course, people as pedantic as those of us who have an
interest in a leap second to point out that the article is wrong in its
claim that " This year, 2005, will be one second longer than any year
since 1998.", since 2000 and 2004 were leap years and were longer than
2005 by 86,399 seconds. :-)
