Take a Leap

Once every four years we get an extra day. The year that normally ends with 365 days in 2012 will end with 366 days. This year we are leaping. In every other month, the 29th day is just another day that passes without any adulation but perhaps because it happens only once every 4 years, February 29 gets special attention. We think of all the strange things that could happen on this day - a birthday, women proposing marriage, getting married or any other dramatic ideas that erstwhile escape our imagination.

Today BBC has a 10 things about February 29 that I thought was interesting. So to celebrate the elusiveness of today, here they are.
