A century year (such as 1900 or 2000) is not a leap year unless it’s also evenly divisible by 400. So 1600 and 2000 WERE leap years but 1700 and 1800 WERE NOT leap years. Subsequently, 2400 and 2800 will be leap years. Someone who is born on leap day may choose to celebrate their birthday on either the 28th of February or the 1st of March. For legal purposes it would largely depend on the law of the area. In English law, they considered February 28th and February 29th one day, so those born on February 29th was really born on February 28th. So in England and Wales a person born on leap day legally reached the age of 18 or 21 on the 28th. Oh also, there was a school shooting on February the 29th (8 years ago in fact). But that’s neither here nor there. I think that’s about all I have in regards to leap day. Oh and there’s a skunk outside my room, so it smells right now. But that’s really not related to leap day. Other than it happened on leap day.

I finally have an actual space that isn’t a social sharing site.I want to thank a few people. First of all, my parents for supporting me in this and giving me the means to buy this site. I want to thank Rick for hosting the site for me and helping me with other various tech aspects related to WordPress. And lastly I want to thank my friends and my fans who are entertained (at the least) by my videos.Thank you everyone for your support. I intend to eventually add most or all of my old videos in the coming week as well as a few new ones.

Thanks for visiting and keep checking back for more.
