Leap Year in 2008! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

DLevine2 · 12-19-2007, 11:07 PM

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!

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.

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

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.

I guess he'll be 12 this time.

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

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

ok...I'm confused....why would you be excited that women can propose on a leap year? Or does Max stand for MaxINE???

MrCleveland · 12-21-2007, 05:06 PM

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.

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!

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