Saturday, February 29

There have been just over 100 leap days in history     The Julian calendar, according to which a year was 365 days and six hours -- 11 more minutes than the actual length -- was suspended in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII. Since 1582 there have been 108 or 109 leap days -- not that many for a tradition that has been around for five centuries. However, if you include the leap days established with the   Julian calendar around 45 BC, then there have been a total of 515 to 517 leap days.
