    Crap Things About Leap Years

    1) Your girlfriend can ruin your day by proposing to you on 29 February.

    2) February is 1 day longer. Why can't we have the extra day in June?

    3) The freakin'Olympics. Plus those Olympics of banality that are the US Presidential elections.

          Strictly speaking, the Olympics don't occur every leap year. 1900 was an Olympic year, but wasn't a leap year.

                Strictly speaking, your statement is not accurate.

                1900 not being a leap year does not affect the accuracy of the statement that the Olympics occur every leap year.
                To make the statement wrong you would need an example of the Olympics not occuring in a leap year rather than them occuring not in leap year.
