Happy Leap Year... Day... Umm.. yeah whatever
ha! Happy Leap Year ya'll! If you're like me, you probably realize about this time last week that this was a leap year. Or, if you're like other people I know, you're reading this post saying "I guess it is a leap year isn't it??" ;-)
A little Leap Year trivia for ya!
- Century years (1800, 1900, 2000, 2100) are not made leap years unless divisible by 400.
- Leap Seconds! Some years are longer than others. This is mostly due to weather. Every few years, scientists agreed to add or remove a second from a year right at midnight on January 1st or July 1st. This is called a Leap Second.Newsflash: Scientists have now discovered that the Earth is not rotating as fast, and have deemed this practice unnecessary!
- If you're a "Leaper," you will have beaten the 1,506 odds against being born on Leap Day.
- In the United States, some people have referred to this date as Sadie Hawkins Day, with women being given the right to run after unmarried men to propose.
Alright ladies! Now's your chance to ask that special someone to marry you! ;-)
