actually a little slow, which means that Google's leap smear
appropriately evokes how the dialog from Disney's Haunted
Mansion is analogous to leap seconds in POSIX:
Your cadaverous pallor betrays an aura of foreboding, almost as
though you sense a disquieting metamorphosis. Is this haunted
room actually stretching? Or is it your imagination? And
consider this dismaying observation: this chamber has no windows,
and no doors. Which offers you this chilling challenge: to find a
way out! Of course, there's always my way.
