February 29 is a date that occurs only every four years, and is called leap day. This day is added to the calendar in leap years as a corrective measure, because the earth does not orbit around the sun in precisely 365.000 days.
Folk tradition says that leap day is the only day which girls can ask for a guys hand in marriage and if he refuses she must be compensated with some type of gift...watch your back.
