Tomorrow (or, for most of the world, today) will be the 29th of February, a day that only occurs once every four years. For those of you born on this day, happy birthday! This will hopefully not be the last February 29th the world ever sees. :o

Oh, I get it! Only counting the leap years! I realised a while ago that because of leap years, we're all older than we think. However many leap years we've lived through is how many days older we are than our number of years.

Yep, but that won't make any difference to me, I'm still too young. So I'm kinda 4 days older.

That's probably the same with me. But I never cared when I didn't know, so why care now?

So that means that if we lived for 1460 years(being born on a day before February 29th/28th), by our birthdays, we would actually 1461.

Wow. It's another Febuary 29th! :o

I like Leap Days, especially because Leap Days are days I don't have school on (one of New Hampshire's School Vacation weeks comes right at the end of February).

Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who has a Leap Day birthday. I have to settle for the 2nd week of March. I'm sure it would be cool to tell people that I'm a lot older than I really am! ;)

WELL.

If you want to get technical, the earth's year is 365 1/4th days. The reason for leap year is to basically string those 1/4th days into one 24 hour day every four years so our seasons don't run crazy after a few years. XD

Also, a good friend of mine was due on February 28th on a leap year. She was born at 12:05 AM on March 1. XD
