Happy leap year

globeHey everyone! Just wanted to say Happy “Leap year” today! February 29, 2008! Also, Happy Birthday today to those of you who are Feb. 29th babies! :D

veryone should make a good memory today! It only comes once every four years you know. ;)

A person born on February 29 may be called a “leapling” or “leaper”[10]. In common years they usually celebrate their birthdays on 28 February or 1 March.

For legal purposes, their legal birthdays depend on how different laws count time intervals. In Taiwan, for example, the legal birthday of a leapling is 28 February in common years, so a Taiwanese leapling born on February 29, 1980 would have legally reached 18 years old on February 28, 1998.
