I don't think the title-text references leap seconds, as it says that "many" are wrong, not "all". It seems more likely it refers to stores that claim to be open 365 days per year, and are hence wrong in leap years.

I agree that it would be closed for 39 (and a bit) minutes a day if it was open for exactly 24 hours. I think Randall made a mistake. [[Special:Contributions/198.41.238.40|198.41.238.40]] 21:30, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

The parts in the description that talk about mixing "Earth and Mars time units" and "Mars-hours" don't make sense; I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as a Mars-hour. Despite the classical definition of an hour (which has since been replaced), an hour is defined as a number of seconds, and seconds are an SI unit based on the characteristics of Caesium-133 atoms...NOT defined as being a fixed fraction of a day. Even the unit "day" is often used to refer to a fixed unit of time nowadays (defined by the SI to be 86 401 s)...I believe this is one of the reasons why the solar day on Mars is referred to as a "sol" instead of a "day".

:Nitpicking a bit, but the day is usually only 86400 seconds long (see [[1481]]).

Fun fact that might be interesting to add to the note about Arizona and DST. As stated already, the Navajo reservation observes DST, since it extends into Utah and New Mexico. However, the Hopi reservation, which is entirely enclosed by the Navajo reservation, does NOT follow DST. So in the one state in the Mountain Time Zone that does not observe DST, there is a region that follows DST, and inside that is another region that does not follow DST.

:And looking at a [http://cronkitenewsonline.com/2012/03/what-time-is-it-in-arizona-it-depends-on-where-youre-standing/ DST map of Arizona], it appears there is at least one small area contained within that inner-most non-observing region that does observe DST...

Date of issue is definitely incorrect. Could someone fix that? [[User:Rikthoff|Rikthoff]] ([[User talk:Rikthoff|talk]]) 16:35, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

I have a (partial?) solution to the urine problem. Don't let any toddlers and children into your apartment, let alone hundreds of them. HTH, HAND. [[Special:Contributions/178.98.31.27|178.98.31.27]] 18:23, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

I'd say this comic resonated much more around the Internet than the rest of them. The trivia section should mention this and cite evidence. --[[User:Quicksilver|Quicksilver]] ([[User talk:Quicksilver|talk]]) 06:17, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

I think the heart means that they're having sex. The title text would support this.{{unsigned ip|120.148.234.14}}

Since noone mentioned it yet, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7t0EtKlQxyo this guy] tried it at home. Something for the Trivia? - [[User:Ruffy314|Ruffy314]] ([[User talk:Ruffy314|talk]]) 15:14, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

"the two are making love in the balls" this just seems funny to me for some reason [[Special:Contributions/162.158.69.63|162.158.69.63]] 16:33, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
