Those aren't seconds, but frames. If you notice the ones at the top are 17, but the ones at the bottom are 18. It's entirely possible that a frame (1/30th of a second) elapsed while the shutter was rolling down.

I can't believe Nam June Paik rose from the dead and is voting for Romney.
"Nam June Paik" win.
Warmth is what the beast craves. Hrr hrr.
Those fancy Republicans and their cable TV. And this is just the primary. Come the real deal, Obama's gonna be facing satellite.

Would someone with Photoshop skills please, please make this image into an animated gif with a Dali Clock treatment.
