No.... I don't mean to tell anyone to leap off anything! ( I could think of a few I would say that to, but thats not nice)
What is a leap year?
A leap year is a year in which one extra day has been inserted, or intercalated, at the end of February. A leap year consists of 366 days, whereas other years, called common years, have 365 days.
The purpose of this is to make up the difference between the calendar year and the solar year. It is convenient for us in daily life to go by a calendar year of 365 days. The solar year, which measures time by the movement of the Earth round the Sun, is actually 365 days and about six hours long. In four years, these six hours a year make an extra day, so we have a year with an extra day in it, a leap year. ZZZZZZZZZZZ......
Sorry I dozed off for a moment!
On a more serious note, I want to take a moment to say goodbye to a guy that inspired alot of car guys, Boyd Coddington passed away Wednesday morning and he will be greatly missed by many!
For a man who was lucky enough to make a living doing something so enjoyable. RIP "Hot Rod King"
