Happy Leap Day everyone! Thought I'd share some fun trivia about Leap Year.....I love knowing stuff like this:
- in the Gregorian calendar, 3 criteria determine which years will be leap years: (1) the year is divisible by 4; (2) of those years, if it can be divided by 100, it is NOT a leap year; unless (3) the year is divisible by 400. Then it is a leap year. Got that? For an easier way to determine if a particular year will be a leap year, try the handy Leap Year Calculator.
- your chances of being born on Leap Day are about 1 in 1500.
- there are about 187,000 people in the US and about 4 million people worldwide who were born on Leap Day.
- famous Leap Day babies include Ja Rule (rapper), Dinah Shore (singer) and Jimmy Dorsey (bandleader), among others
Have a great (extra) day today!
