I waited patiently to take a picture of my digital clock at 12 seconds past the 12th minute of 12 O' Clock on the twelfth month of 2012.

Am I in danger of suffering from some sort of OCD.....?

If I miss it I can change the time zone on the clock and try again in an hour.

Most Accurate Clock In The World Ever
The TRUE atomic clock is in Boulder, Colorado.
Pah!!!
quote:
An atomic clock at the UK's National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has the best long-term accuracy of any in the world, research has found.
Studies of the clock's performance, to be published in the journal Metrologia, show it is nearly twice as accurate as previously thought.
The clock would lose or gain less than a second in some 138 million years.
The UK is among the handful of nations providing a "standard second" that keeps the world on time.
However, the international race for higher accuracy is always on, meaning the record may not stand for long.
