Some things I agree with
(or not as the case may be)

Saturday, December 31 ... Hello 2006. Hi 2006, welcome to the neighbourhood, pleased to meet you - we're the World and we're your new neighbours for the next year or so. Don't mind the American family across the road from us, they tend to get angry over something stupid once in a while and blow shit up for no reason, but they're actually really nice people if you get to talk to them individually away from the head of the house (he's a bit of a strange one, and as it seems, a little bit slow most of the time). Don't forget people, 2005 had a leap second added, so all the clocks are delayed by one second to compensate for the 365.25 day revolution of the earth as its rate of spin slows ever so slightly. This means that, following the UTC convention, the time actually goes from 23:59.59 -> 23:59.60 -> 00:00:00. Very odd, for that one second, you're neither in 2005 nor 2006 as I figure it... A second existing in no time at all. Funky. Technorati tags: New Year's Day 2006 NYD2006 Dragged out of Christopher's memory and pasted into his blog at 12/31/2005 11:00:00 PM. Roughly.
