There was a myth that a duck's quack did not echo, but mythbusters recently busted that myth. Ta-dah. That's the reason why "ok here is one my cousin sent me a ducks quack does echo."is kinda making a point.

A dat is rarrely exactly 24 hours long and its length can vary by as much as 50 seconds.Once atomic clocks had picked up on this. the definion of a second was changed from "a fraction of the polar day 1/86400th of a day" to "the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyper-fine levels of the groundstate of the caesium-133 atom". therefore the solar day and atomic day are getting further apart. So a leap second has been introduced. The last leap second was on the 31 December 2008.
