Never in the history of time has a minute contained only 59 seconds. Even in Africa. And it has been decided that from 2035 onwards, we need to alter time itself in order to eradicate this irregular minute.
We can only hope that before that time, we get to experience one of these magical short minutes. It may happen yet.
