March fact : march used to be the first month of the year. i heard it on the radio and realised then that another fact i read made sense after that.

february 29th, it happens only once in four years right, and why is there an extra day in the second month and not like and the end of the year? well, february 29th IS the end of the year in the past, because march was first!

the fact was : a calendar year is exactly 365days, 5 hours, 48 mins and 46s . so, every four years, the 5hours 48 mins and 46s make up a day - february 29th!

happy feb 29th fuji syuusuke! even though its not this year, happy feb 28th + 17hours plus.

and btw, if a calender year is as the statistics, february 29th would only be 23 hours, 15min and 4 sec. long as the extra time from the four years do not add up to 24 hours.
