We all gained a second Saturday

Posted: Updated:

It's not only Leap Year... Saturday is also Leap Second.

International timekeepers added a second to the clock at 7pm central daylight time Saturday.

They're doing it to synchronize the official atomic clock with the earth that is slowing down a fraction of a second because of the tidal pull of the moon.

They say they probably won't add another leap second until 2015 or 2016.
