It’s February 29th and you know what that means . . . today doesn’t exist.

No seriously, this isn’t a joke. Today doesn’t really exist, because it’s leap year. But what is leap year?

According to Wikipedia, leap year is a year containing one or more extra days in order to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal year. For example, in the Gregorian calendar, February would have 29 days in a leap year instead of the usual 28. Because seasons and astronomical events do not repeat at an exact number of full days, a calendar which had the same number of days in each year would, over time, drift with respect to the event it was supposed to track. By occasionally inserting an additional day or month into the year, the drift can be corrected.

Ohhh so that’s what leap year is for. Yeah . . . nope, I still don’t get it.

Well whatever leap year is, whatever it does, it’s here. Since this day doesn’t officially exist I say it’s a “do whatever you want” say. Steal a car, kiss the first beautiful (or ugly if you swing that way) person you see, smack your arched enemy across the face. Because what are they going to do? Press charges?

If this day doesn’t exist you can go to the judge and say “When did this alleged crime take place?” He/She will say “Why on February 29th” and you can say “There are only 28 days in February! Zing!” And everyone, including the judge will probably stand up and cheer for you as you walk backwards slowly out of the court room.

Take advantage of this people, it’s not going to come back around for another 4 years.

PS My grandparents got married on February 29th, which is great for dudes because they don’t give a crap forget about anniversaries all the time, this way they have only one every 4 years!
