Happy Birthday to my Husband!
I firmly believe that his birthday was yesterday. He firmly believes that his birthday is today. However, he was born in February not March. So, there. Furthermore, the leap day is a construct meant to compensate for the fact that our calendar does not perfectly line up with the Earth's revolutions:
Leap Years are needed to keep our calendar in alignment with the Earth's revolutions around the sun. It takes the Earth approximately 365.242199 days – or 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds (a tropical year) – to circle once around the Sun.
However, the Gregorian calendar has only 365 days in a year, so if we didn't add a day on February 29 nearly every 4 years, we would lose almost six hours off our calendar every year. After only 100 years, our calendar would be off by approximately 24 days! (from dateandtime.com)
