February 29, 2008 Leap Day!

Categories: Humor

Written By: Rodel

So why do we have leap year or leap day? Actually, the actual time it takes our Earth to make its way around the sun is actually 365.24219 days (5 hours, 48 minutes, 46 seconds per year extra). So basically, we experience 1/4 of a day every year beyond 365 complete days, which ever four years adds up to an additional day which must be accounted for in order to keep our calendar system in sync with the celestial cycles that the calendar system works within. If we didn’t account for the leap year day, then eventually our holidays that are based upon certain seasonal changes and times would drift away from their original date.

So, I would suggest to get sober or enjoy life to the fullest to day since “leap year” happened last in 1908 and won’t come again until 2036. Make this a memorable day for you!
