Happy Leap Year Day! Not sure if it is a reason to celebrate, but then again, why not?!
Here is some Leap Year trivia you may or may not know:
1. Leap Year has been the traditional year for a woman to propose marriage.
2. In Greece, there is a superstition that it is bad luck to marry during a leap year.
3. Anthony (Tony) Robbins, the American motivational speaker, was born on this day.
4. Julius Casear was the first to declare the last day of February as Leap Year Day, although the Egyptians are credited with first discovering the man made calendar and solar year didn't match up.
5. The last year of a century isn't a Leap Year unless it's evenly divisible by 400.
TGIF!
