Wow, March the first. Finally.
I sure am glad that yesterday didn't really exist and all those things I said aren't real.

This leap day, please spare a thought for the trust-fund kids who have to wait an extra day to get their hands on the funds when they turn 18 (21, 25, or whatever arbitrary age their unkind ancestor set).

We hear people talk a lot about what they had/did do with the extra hour we get when we move the clock back to standard time every year, but we don't really hear such talk about an entire extra day we get in a leap year. I wonder why that is. 🤔

Happy Leap Day!

1812 color engraving in two scenes. Both show man in clown outfit with baggy white pants, red coat, white facepaint, along with a large frog - presumably actually a person in a frog costume.

In the first scene, the Clown holds out a bowl of water towards the sitting Frog.

In the second scene, the Clown bends over, as the Frog propels itself over the Clown by jumping with hands on the Clown's shoulders, "leap frogging".

I hope long prison sentences are actually given out in days instead of years. E.g., "365 days" instead of "1 year".
If given in years, convicts unfairly spend extra days in prison due to leap years, compared to those imprisoned (only) in non-leap years. 😟

2024 is Not a Leap Year!
Until it is!
Or maybe not, but...
What day is it?

I'm sorry, but there seems to be a misunderstanding in your query. You've mentioned a date, "2024-02-29, 05:30 AM UTC," but February 29 does not occur in the year 2024. 2024 is not a leap year, so February only has 28 days. Leap years occur every 4 years, where an extra day is added to February to make it 29 days long. The most recent leap year was 2020, and the next will be 2024. Therefore, the date you've provided is not valid. If you have any other questions or need information for a differe…
