In 2008 we have a leap year. The next leap is 2012 which we have a leap year every 4 years. The people who were born on February 29 is a leap year baby. Who was born on February 29? Who was married on February 29? Any Wedding Anniversaries on February 29? We have 5 Fridays in February of 2008.

In the old days, leap years were the only time that women could ask men out or propose marriage!

Are you serious? Sweet!


2008, baby! It's going to be the year! :lol:

yup...it was more of a custom than a law though :lol:

I have a cousin who was born on February 28, 1984. If she'd waited one more day, she would have been a Leap Year baby. :lol:

Good thing she didn't wait. Who needs that kind of complications?

its not so bad, you age 1/4 as fast as anyone else :lol:

My uncle was born on February 29, 1964. He always celebrates his birthday on the 28th, but every leap year we tease him about it. :lol: I guess he'll be 12 this time. :p

how offen do we have a leap year and when will the next leap year be after 2008

Every four years, the next one will be in 2012.

The easiest way I remember it is it's always during Presidential election years.

Are you serious? Sweet!


2008, baby! It's going to be the year! :lol:
ok...I'm confused....why would you be excited that women can propose on a leap year? Or does Max stand for MaxINE??? :confused: :eek:

Dosen't it seem that the Olympics and Presidential Election Days are on years with Leap Years?

Well the are.

Yes, it's something with the Summer Olympics and Presidential Elections on the years when we have a Leap Year.

This Summer, we have the Beijing Olympics and we have a new president in November 2008.

:lol: No, I just never approach a woman. My mind doesn't naturally say, "Hey, there's a beautiful lady, maybe I should ask her out!"

So maybe if there is a year dedicated to allowing women the option(even though these days it's not unheard of), maybe the universe will let it happen! :) :lol:

I know.... pathetic, 'aint it!

is 2012 will be The next time we elec a new President

I know what you mean...it would be SO much easier if women did the "asking", wouldnt it? :lol:

is 2012 will be The next time we elec a new President
Yes, after 2008's presidential election will be in 2012 and after 2012 will be again in 2016.

After a leap year in '08 the next one will be in '12 and then in '16.

2020 is also a leap year too.

Heh, I'll turn 35 in 2020. When I thought of that, I thought of other friends who will be in their late 30's/early 40's by that point, and that terrified me. I can't imagine us as middle-aged people. :eek: And that's only 12 years away. When you hit 20, time just seems to pick up and pass ya by.

My Great-Grandfather was a leap year baby and lived well into his nineties. :)

In 2020, I'll be 39.
