    Leap Day

    Anyone have any good ideas for celebrating Leap Day? I'm coming up pretty short. Don't care too much for the frog theme.

                  No, it's an extra day added to the calendar.

                  Our year is not exactly 365 days; it's actually about 365.25 days. If we don't add that extra day to February every 4 years, eventually our calendar would be really off--that has happened in the past, actually--crops are planted in the spring but the calendar says September, because of how much the little inaccuracies add up.

                  So, where February usually has only 28 days, every four years is what we call a "Leap Year" and February has an extra day, the 29th, and we call it "Leap Day".

                  It's just a day like any other, really.
