“what date is also known as Bisexual Day?
And I’m out.
It’s B-I-S-S-E-X-T-I-L-E.”
“The correct answer is February 29th.
Why?
So, in the original Julian calendar, what they did was to make the years match up correctly, basically to have a leap year. They took February, they decided, for some reason, that February 24th would just be 48 hours long.
So, the year actually technically still had 365 days. It’s just one of those days was 48 hours long. And the way they did their calendar reckoning, that was the sixth day before March.
So, they doubled the sixth day before March, which is why you’ve got bisexile day. But then later reforms added the 29th day to February, more or less, every four years.
That’s very cool.
Cool. So do you know what the exception to leap years is? Like, it’s every four years except for what?
Ooh.
No idea.
No idea.
Except for years that are also divisible by 400. So like, there wasn’t a leap year in the year 2000, or leap day in the year 2000.”
