Leap second proposal sparks row

Well, never let it be said that science didn't have your back. People are always complaining that we never have enough time, well looks like some "scientists" want to add a leap second every 18 months. So you can do extra things like sleep-in an extra second or get your coffee one second earlier. Just think of all the possibilities!

I read the article slightly differently: we already have leap seconds that are added for us, but a group of American scientists (notice lack of "") no longer want to do this. The reasons are fuzzy, but seem to stem from an inconvienience factor, and they'd rather add the time back in larger chunks, like hours. The debate is not if we need to add extra time, but how.
