Happy Bissextile Day!

Apparently, there is a tradition that on leap days, woman may make a proposal of marriage to men. Wikipedia tells me that in "1288 the Scottish parliament under Queen Margaret legislated that any woman could propose in Leap Year...Another component of this tradition was that if the man rejects the proposal, he should soften the blow by providing a kiss, one pound currency, and a pair of gloves (some later sources say a silk gown)." How awesome is that?

Lady: "Will you marry me?"
Man: "Sorry love, but here's a dollar - buy yourself something nice - and some old gloves I found in the dumpster. Wanna make out?"

Happy birthday to all my "leaplings" out there. That means you Ja Rule.

Peace out.
