Leap Day

2008 is a leap year. That means there is an extra day this month February 29th. February 29th only comes every 4 years, except.... Do you know the exception to this rule.

Another rare thing about 2008 is that it has 5 Fridays. That's a cool thing all by itself because if you are lucky you get an extra paycheck that month. If you have a spelling test every Friday, you get stuck with an extra one of those too.

Did you know...... That with out leap years our calendar would be off by 6 hours every year or 24 days every century without leap years.

Calendars have been adapted for many many centuries , with as many as 15 days dropped in a year to make the calendar to match the season. There was even a February 30th.

Time and date has much more detail

I am beginning to think the calendar is off again with the weather we have been having, but hey who am I . I have always hated February. -- too gloomy. Besides the candy at Easter is much better than the candy at Valentine's Day. I like Jelly beans. candy
