Time To Leap

2012 is a Leap Year and today, February 29th, is officially Leap Day.  Leap Day happens once every four years, unless it's a year ending in "00" and not divisible by 400.  It's a rotation thing:  The earth revolves around the sun once every 365.242910 days, so we round it to 365 1/4 days, leap every 4 and subtract a bit every now and then...

Happy Birthday to all those Leap Year Babies :-)
