  • My mother was born on Feb.29th. I am 51 years old. My mother just had her 23rd birthday.

  • It is a strange phenomenon

  • All I hear with this video is, "We're too stupid to realize that every 4 years there is an extra day. I'm old and the world scares and confuses me!"

  • Some of the guests want to preserve Leap Year.

    Others want to abolish it.

    It is an interesting debate

  • 229.... we leapers came into this world on that day...

    now some old fart with a bug up his a ZZ wants to deny us our day...

    perhaps on the 29th I'll pay him a visit and abolish him...

  • Im a leap year baby, and im just happy to say to peoiple that im younger than they are cuz i was born on a leap year .lol

  • @MegaLeapyear was the mayan calendar so accurate that it included the leap year?

  • FUCK ALLL YOU HATERS!!!! jealous cause you cant find a way to say your birthday is on a special day... its hard enough going 4 years without a birthday that is on your true birthday!!! IM A LEAPER AND PROUD OF IT!!!

  • Why do the Americans think that they can abolish the calendar? If there's going to be a change in the calender, I think the entire world should decide, not just the Americans...

    LoL... Love the spoof...

  • @JessicaLovering Hello, you are right with what you say. The issue that I struggle over is that I always hear news stories about the Mayan Calendar and how it was the most accurate ever, even more than our current calendar. I don't understand how today with all our technology, we have a less accurate calendar than the Mayans that existed over 2000 years ago. What could we do to equal the accuracy of their system? I'm very interested in this topic. It is a fascinating discussion!

  • @MegaLeapyear I don't really understand how that would be any better. There are 12.3682662 lunar cycles in a year. So, instead of adding an extra day every four years, we would have to add an extra month every three years, and that wouldn't be very accurate. That seems like it would be much more disruptive. I don't want to argue from authority, but I actually am an Astrophysicist and I study planetary orbits. A simplistic system will not stay accurate for very long.

  • @Wesleyweasel I want to abolish it, where do I sign up?
