02/29/2024 “Leap Year”   Leave a comment

It seems to me that celebrating leap year every four years makes no sense. It’s not a holiday, just another extra day they (unknown person or persons) had left over so they stuck it in February. It seems that history looks at leap year as 366 leap days and thus damns the entire year with all of this “leap” nonsense. After looking into the history books, leap year is nothing to be proud of. The following list tells you about some of the wonderful things that’ve happened during a leap year. I don’t see anything on this list that requires a celebration.

  • 1204: the Fall of Constantinople, collapse of the Byzantine Empire.
  • 1232: start of the Spanish Inquisition.
  • 1400: A black plague epidemic rages, killing one in every three Europeans.
  • 1572: St. Bartholomew’s Night happens – the mass murder of the Huguenots in France.
  • 1896: Japan’s most devastating tsunami.
  • 1908: the fall of the Tunguska meteorite (Tunguska event).
  • 1912: the sinking of the Titanic.
  • 2020: global coronavirus pandemic.

There are a few things you should avoid during a leap year, so say the so-called experts.

Life Changes Should Be Postponed

Do Not Change Jobs

Financial Difficulties

Do Not Start a New Business

Do Not Buy a Home

Tell Noone About Your Future Plans.

Do Not Adopt Pets

If Older Do Not Buy Your Funeral Clothing in Advance

All Leap Year Travel Should Be Postponed

Try Not to Plan a Pregnancy or Childbirth in a Leap Year.

On top of all these dire warnings here are a list of people born during leap years. It appears some are good, some are bad, and some are worse.

Julius Caesar

Leonardo da Vinci

Isaac Levitan

David Copperfield

Vladimir Putin

Pavel Durov

Mark Zuckerberg

After reading this post you should realize that to be safe during a Leap Year you should never leave the house because everything you do or think could be dangerous. I find it ironic that during the pandemic we were required to stay in the house and limit contact with the rest of the world. It’s even stranger that 2020 was the year that Covid-19 turned into the monster that terrorized the planet. It wasn’t slowed down all that much by all of these lame and useless Leap Year warnings or by the numerous ineffectual government requirements. Just more utter nonsense.
