It's the 29th of February, I had no idea it was a leap year tbh. I just found out by reading the BBC.

Discuss.

edit: Due to constant nerd accusations, can you mod guys change the title to: Wow, Free Day

Thx

What's all this fuzz in the media about 2008 being a leap year anyway? I mean I have experienced leap years before; don't know about any of you guys though.

Every US presidential election year is a leap year.  That's how I remember it, though that is of diminishing convenience to non-Americans.

It'd suck if February 29th was your birthday.

Damn the internet. I mean Wow as in

I honestly wasn't even thinking about WoW, thanks for ruining my day knowing that my thread looks like a WoW thread. Now all the cool people will think I'm a nerd.

Dude, I can't have that

Just to make you feel better; I too tought you were having a WoW free day

But anyway weird things can happen on a leap day right? So if we're lucky, a meteorite (or Al Qaïda) will hit the Blizzard servers and we might have even more than one day

Almost true. Except 2100 will not be a leap year, but will be a presidential election year (assuming that the USA still exists and hasn't become so fat it's eaten itself to death.)

Leap years happen every 4 years
Except every 100 years
Except every 400 years!

So:
2000 is a leap year
2004 is a leap year
2008 is a leap year
2100 is not a leap year
2104 is a leap year
2200 is not a leap year
2400 is a leap year

etc...

Today is the only day of the year that a woman may propose to her fella.

I heard a story on the news this morning of how a woman has arranged a surprise wedding today including 50 guests.  She plans to propose to her fella and hopefully when he says yes she's gonna say "Come on then, the car is waiting to take us now". How much could that backfire?

A lot of people already know the answer with enough certainty by the time they pop the question that there isn't much risk.

Cue the contrary anecdotes...

It wasn't so much a correction as a chance to show of my miniscule knowledge of the subject.
Thanks for being a metaphorical spring-board!
