My watch says that it is the 29th but it is wrong.

It is moments like this when one sits back and reflects on the fragility of life and what one might have done with an extra day of life had they had it which you don't.

So what would you do or are going to do with this day that you don't have?

1. Leap Day is in the wrong month

Who the hell wants February to be longer?
Put it where we could use it.
Between July 4th and 5th or after Labor Day.

3. I always wondered about that

I think that law stipulates that they are to be considered the number of years they have been alive not the number of Feb.29th they have seen.

How old are you?
