We think we can all agree that Leap Years are like, the best thing ever. It's an extra day! An extra 24 hours you can spend doing whatever you want, unless it falls on a work day, in which case, you'll probably spend it working. It augments the month of February, changing it from a truncated, dissatisfying calendar partition into a slightly less truncated, dissatisfying calendar partition.

We had planned out a ton of Leap Year-related activities for tomorrow, but were recently crushed to learn that tomorrow is plain ol' March 1. We thought we'd memorized the time-old mnemonic device: "February 29 will join your collection, in all years including a mid-term election." Apparently, it ends with "presidential election," with optional addendum, "unless the year is divisible by 100, in which case, it's not a leap year, unless it's actually divisible by 400, in which case, it is a leap year." Man, what a stupid mnemonic device.
