God is always angry with you

A couple Leap Year tidbits to make sure that you’re not still entirely ignorant when the sun sets.

In English speaking countries it is custom that women may only propose marriage on a Leap Year. Careful though, if you turn her down you must compensate the lady with 12 pairs of gloves, at least in Denmark.

On February 29 1504 ” Christopher Columbus used his knowledge of a lunar eclipse that night to convince Native Americans to provide him with supplies.” Wikipedia can be so esoteric sometimes. It’s like reading Borges.

Whatever you do, have fun. Today doesn’t count so you can do whatever the hell you want and God won’t know.
