Leap Year 2012

Happy Birthday to all the Leap Year babies out there!

 Today is Leap Day and here some interesting facts about this special day: Leap Day was introduced more than 2,000 years ago to keep the calendar year synchronized with the seasons. The Earth turns roughly 365-and-a-quarter times on its axis by the time it has completed a full year’s orbit around the sun. That means periodically the calendar has to catch up. A Leap Year contains one extra day — February 29 — for a total of 366 days. People born on this day day are called Leaplings or Leap Year Babies.
