Happy Leap Day


I like weird days like today!

Happy 14th birthday to Tony Robbins!

Tradition says that women can propose marriage today. Alas, no one has asked me yet and I fear I shall remain single. That's OK with me!

R.I.P. Davy Jones of the Monkees. He passed away today.

Here is also a little known fact. Remember all the weird Y2K stuff from 12 years ago? I found a Y2K issue on our company's program but it didn't show up until 3/1/00? Does anyone know why? The answer is a little known fact about Leap Day.

The reason we knew our systems were not Y2K compliant was because if the year reset to 1900, that year there was not a leap year, whereas 2000 was.

And that's because Leap Year occurs every four years, except for years ending with 00, in which case it's only a Leap Year if the year is divisible by 400.

I'm a dork.
