DateTimes and the end of the Earth

Those of you that have worked with me know I tend to say "If your code involves anything to do
with Date/Time manipulation, review it thoroughly, because it almost certainly contains a bug".

I can't remember where I got the original premise for that, it was an article or something years ago (I certainly couldn't come up with something that succinct on my own), but K Scott Allen has a ripper post up today confirming the sense in a detailed reviews of date time work.

Rollover bugs due to missing leap seconds involving HE munitions, who wouldn't want to read about that?!?!
