So did you know that February 29th is also known as bissextile day. Really, go look it up.
The story of how a leap year comes about is all about us Earthians rotating around the Sun, and generally taking 6 hours longer than we should. So that 6 unaccountable hours each year kinda accumulates at the end of every 4 years, giving us an extra 24hours/one day. But the question is, why did they not add it to April, June or September or even November is beyond me. I probably might have learnt of this reason in Science class, but that info sort of escapes me at the moment.
Did you also know that in the 19th century, this would be THE day for the women to get down on bended knees, proposing marriage to their beloved. Also a person who is born on Feb 29th, is known as a leapling.
Really, all this is just useless trivia. Yes sir, I AM mocking you.
