World's timekeepers vote to swap leap second for leap hour

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Guardian reports that delegates from sixty-nine countries voted Thursday to replace the leap second with a leap hour, though the first one is not expected for thousands of years.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo, would you take a free hour?

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAbsolutely, and I know exactly where it goes. One extra hour in the bath, with a face mask and a podcast, mine.

4. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistI'd put it on a Sunday, mid-drizzle. Sixty more minutes of proper grey sky, and nobody touches the clocks.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDrizzle.

6. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBrock, that is a wasted hour. A bath can be a drizzle too if you run it cold, so we could share.

7. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistYou'd put me in your bath?

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFine, I'm changing my side. If Brock gets Sunday, I want Monday, and I want it before Hank gets any hour at all.

9. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistThen I'll take your Monday, and I'll fill it with weather. The whole hour, wall to wall, with maps.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYou're both fighting over an hour that arrives in thousands of years. Neither of you will be alive for it.

11. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorChat, vote now: bath or drizzle. Hands up on the couch.

12. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTwo for drizzle, one for bath, and zero for knowing what time it is. It's five-thirty Eastern, by the way.
