How Will You Spend That Extra Second?
Thanks to the slowing of the Earth's rotation, we now have an extra second tacked on to the end of 2005. It got us to thinking about all the ways we could spend a tiny bonus increment of time. We looked at the top time searches for some hints...
Killing time is what we're all about, but the top time searches offered no guidance as to how to spend that precious extra second. Since it's being referred to as a "leap second," we thought looking after leap queries was in order...
We jumped for joy when we saw that "vertical leap" made the cut, but we don't want to pogo around the room to commemorate the extra second. Perhaps instead of jumping, we'll remain sedentary and take that extra fleeting moment to ponder the really important things in life. For that, we looked at one of our top "why?" queries -- namely, "why did nick and jessica split?" and finally found a worthy endeavor. That all-consuming question deserves our extra second and serves to remind us why 2005 was a banner year for Buzz.
