Happy leap year to one and all! Only once every four years does Febuary have 29 days. Although this raises a few questions. Why does Febuary only have 28 days while some months have as much as 31? Shouldn't we maybe cut a day off the end of all the months with 31 days and give them to the months with less? If you were born on Febuary 29, does that mean your age is only a quarter of that of someone who was born in the same year as you? If so, do people born on a leap year live four times as long as other people?

sweatdrop Alright I am just being silly now. But here is a more serious question. If you were born on Febuary 29th, do you celebrate your birthday on Febuary 28th or March 1st on non leap year days? Think about that one for a while.
