Feb 29th is a day for blogging! After all, if you miss blogging today, you'll have to wait another 4 years!
Interesting fact #1: Most of us think that every year that is divisible by 4 is a leap year right (2008, 2004, 2000, etc)? And since 2000 was a leap year, 1900, 1800 and 1700 were leap years also.. right?
WRONG!
Years divisible by 100 are NOT leap years UNLESS they are also divisible by 400.. i.e. 1600 and 2000 are leap years, but 1700, 1800 and 1900 are not leap years!!
Interesting fact #2: It is widely believed that Julius Caesar and Augustus (from which July and August are named after) both took a day from February to make their months longer, which is why February only has 28 days instead of 30. HMM
AH-HAH... useful stuff learnt from my elective.. lol
