I'll grant that I hijacked the topic by introducing the legal consequences of calendar dates. But "well under a year" is irrelevant. Adding a mere 60 seconds to 2008-12-31 23:59:00 should give a date in 2008, not in 2009.
There a leap second at the end of December 31, 2008 and thus the last minute was 61 seconds long yielding 2008-12-31 23:59:60.
WARNING - We will encounter another long minute on June 30, 2015 since there is going to be another leap second then.
