It's February 29th - It's LEAP YEAR! Her are the details you should know!
Leap Years don't ALWAYS happen every four years, due to rounding. We don't quite need one full day every four years. The rule is: If the year is divisible by 100, and not divisible by 400, the leap year is skipped.
The last "skipped" Leap Year was in 1900. And the next one is in 2100.
Happy Leap Day! But quick reminder: If you're on salary, you're basically working for free today.
If we didn't do Leap Years, Christmas in July would happen literally. The calendar would shift by 25 days every 100 years, so it would take about 600 years. And then 850 more for it to return to the beginning of winter.
A study found men are more likely than women to "let themselves go" and start gaining weight right after they get married.
Here are four things all Leap Day babies have to deal with: Problems getting carded . . . issues with birthday alerts on Facebook . . . computer systems and websites that don't recognize the "29th" . . . and the same joke every four years. Like, "Happy 10th birthday" when you're actually 40.
The odds of having a birthday on February 29th are 1-in-1,461. And about four million people worldwide have a Leap Day birthday.
Did you know there was a tradition of women proposing to men on Leap Day? If you didn’t, it’s probably because a survey found most women think Leap Day proposals are completely “out of date.” Two-thirds of the women surveyed said they would never consider proposing on February 29th. That said, 16% of the women polled said they were planning to propose today.
