4. OK, I'll bite... why not 2000? It is divisible by 4. |

5. Actually, 2000 WAS a leap year... |
|
All years divisable by 4 are leap years, except those years divisable by 100. The exception is that years divisible by 400 are leap years.

The years with three zeros - 1000, 2000 and presumably (if they get there) 3000 are NOT leap years. I think this is to allow for the milliseconds not accounted for by regular leap years.
BUT
WHO CARES?
Was there a year 0000? (Puleeeeeeese don't start that debate again)
Most times I don't even know what day it is.

Mr GoG's ex decided she loved him again not long after we started getting serious about each other. She had split up with him once before, after they'd been married about a year. 3 years after they got back together, six months after their 2nd kid was born, she decided she loved him, but wasn't "in love" with him. :eyes: 4 years later, I met him, and 6 months after that, she told him she wanted to give their marriage another try. He considered it, for the sake of the kids, until he found out that she was planning a ski trip with her boyfriend.
The woman is a serious control freak. :(
