Certainly an April's joke...
This evening on France 2 (public TV channel) evening news, the joke was
about the wind mills used to produce energy: they would increase slow down
the rotation of earth so much that in 2040, the day will need to count an
additional hour, and all clocks will have soon to be changed !!!
And already a vendor of clocks was protesting about it; that's also variant
of what occurs each year after the shift to summer time, that occured here
during the last weekend...
