(...) You mean besides the one four years ago? Yes, indeed, 2000 was a leap year. Everyone knows that a year that's divisible by 4 is a leap year (well, barring really young kids and such). Lots of people also know that you end up with a few extra (...) (22 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
