• Julius Caesar introduced the first calendar leap year in 46 B.C, but made a few mistakes in the calculations?
• Who came to the rescue? It was about 1500 years later, Pope Gregory XIII tweaked the calculations in his Gregorian calendar, but it had its flaws too - it only had 365 days.
• Why was that a problem?Since it takes the earth 365 days, five hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds to revolve once around the sun, we would have lost 6 hours a year! So, modern mankind added a day every four years to make sure we don’t!

To make the best use of that extra day, folklore has it that women should feel free to propose to men!  But then again, some would say it’s not really a legal “day”. . .so it’s likely best to think twice before making a life-changing decision on February 29.   But, here’s a sure thing and it will sure save you time and money too:
