Will an LED blink if noone is looking?

SirNickity:

  1. Probing Gnd and pin 5 shows 0v, 4.88v in time with the 2-sec delays. Probing pin 5 to the center tap of the divider shows -0.02v at all times... which is to say, probably near the error threshold of the meter. No idea why that is.

Maybe it would be a good idea to find out....
