Happy Leap Day and Leap Year! Here are seven facts about Leap Day, or Leap Year.
- Leap year babies are called “leapers”, or “leaplings”
- Feb. 29 has traditionally been a day in which women were allowed to propose to men
- Some cultures consider Feb. 29 as an unlucky day, more specifically Italians as they call it: “leap year, doom year.”
- Julias Caesar introduced the first calendar leap year in 46 B.C.
- Feb. 29 is not really a legal day in that many companies don’t recognize Leap Day as a “valid day” and they make “leapers” pick Feb. 28, or March 1 as their birth date.
- Lots of people work for free on Feb. 29, due to some employees being paid on fixed monthly incomes, and those incomes do not calculate an extra day.
- There are two “Leap Year Capitals of the World.” They are Anthony, Texas, and Anthony, New Mexico. Both claim the title “Leap Year Capital”, while holding lavish, multi-day celebrations each leap year.
