Happy Leap Day!

This is a leap year, so February has an extra day at the end, February 29.

This only happens every four years to keep our modern calendars on track with methods used by our ancestors to track the four seasons.

So today is an extra day in the year 2012.

Please do something fun for yourself today.

Please do something to help someone else today.

And if anybody want's to know why? Just tell them it's in honor of Leap Day!

And there are some years you would think would be leap years but they aren't IF:
"Years that are evenly divisible by 100 are not leap years, unless they are also evenly divisible by 400, in which case they are leap years."  from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_year

So it goes.
