Leap day Feb 29 2016


 Share

Recommended Posts

Leap Days, or an extra day added on February 29 happen because the actual time it takes the Earth to rotate the sun is 365.2421 days. To ensure consistency with the true astronomical year, one day is added to the year in order to get the calendar back in sync with the movement of planet. This means, every four years, an additional 24 hours have to be added to the month of February.
 
Women Propose to Men: This is just the way it sounds. An Irish legend tells the story that St. Brigid struck a deal with St. Patrick to allow women to propose to men – and not just the other way around – every four years.
 

Leap Day Babies: Those born on February 29 are invited to join The Honor society of Leap Year Day Babies.

My sister's due date was like two days ago, and she still hasn't had her baby. I'm hoping to death she'll have it today  :D. I'd love to have a nephew/niece who's born on leap day.

Leap day come in every year?

Once every 4 years. Pretty awkward when you're born on this day, you're birthday is only once in the 4 years.
