Hey Mike!!
I just got back. I've been a little "Under The Weather" for a while now and noticed your Post here and it's only 5:50 AM so I thought I'd give it a try. ...LOL..
I like this Post! !!! .....A Friend is a
"Leaper" and She asked me to do some Research into Leap Year a while back.
Out of Respect for YOU for Posting this GOOD Topic In Non-Shop Talk Buddy …...................
HANG ON!! HERE WE GO!!
If some of this stuff is a little SMALL or to LARGE ….
TIP: Hit and Hold "Control" or "Ctrl", at the same time use The Mouse Wheel to Zoom In, Or Out. I can take this Page down to about 2" Wide doing that.
ALSO Can Do: "Ctrl", Hold and Hit (+) or (-) Key at the same time, and same result.
Yes! 1461 is the Correct Chance. That's to balance out Clock time over the Year for Revolutions around the Sun which works out to: 365 Days / 5Hours / 49 Minutes / 12 Seconds. ...LOL…
Most of the following came from
"The Honor Society Of Leap Year Day Babies" Members are known as "Leapers" NOT "Leaplings" as shown in one of the "News" Articles below.
Right behind that is another "News" Article about
"Sadie Hawkins Day". It's Wrong also. Sadie Hawkins Day is on November 15th. It Came from Al Capp in His Comic Strip "Lil' Abner" that Debuted on November 15th. 1937.
On Leap Year Day, Ladies were allowed to Propose to the Men. 2 Cards are below…(UH OH!! ) At a Sadie Hawkins Dance, the Ladies ask the Men to dance. (I can Handle That! )
A List of "Famous Leapers" is also shown i.e "The Pocket Rocket", Montreal Canadians, 29th., 1936. and a seperate Article on "The Man!!". Also Jimmy Dorsey …1904, Dinah Shore ...1916, Al Rosen ….1924 and and and and…SUPERMAN!!! Also a LOT of American Atheletes.
Any Questions …Ya'll let me know …Hear??
