Happy Doomsday Leap Year 2012

If you look far enough back into the past, you can see that the Lil Abner type Sadie Hawkins day motif was well entrenched into society. It was well know that predatory young gals might be on the look out for eligible bachelors come leap day and the ladies would be sure to pounce!

You can't avert this disaster boys. Doomsday is here!

Well, there are the prosaic concerns about the leap year.

Every year divisible by 4 is a leap year. Unless that year is also divisible by 100. In which case it must also be divisible by 400 to be a leap year.

Since a calandar year is 365 days and a solar year is 365.25 days, a leap year now and then keeps everything in balance.

Some say the meanng of the term "leap year" is taken from the notion that what is Tuesday this year becomes Wednesday next year so we leap

over a day.
