Don’t forget to reset your clocks before you go to bed tonight: the last UTC minute of June 30th has 61 seconds tonight.

Alternately, you might want to consider this year to have a June 31st — which lasts but a single second. I bet the calendar people would just love that one!

And you don't want that thrown at you!

Irrespective of whether the temporal bit refers to the monkeys (no telling when they'll strike) or the location of the hit.

According to this, some folks didn’t take my warning seriously enough. Y2K all over again.
