Anyone born 29th Feb ?

[Dave7]

Just out of interest.
Do you celebrate your birthday?
If so, when ?

There was a girl in my class at Primary School. Susan someone. She's getting on now - she must be 14 or so.

My late Uncle Arthur was born on 29th February 1932. He passed away 12 years ago. He would have been 92 today, but celebrating his 22nd "true" birthday.

Greatly missed, RIP Uncle Arf.

Its my friend Matt's birthday today. Born in '64, He's now 15

My gran was. She always went by the 28th, but legally those born on the 29th are supposed to use the 1st March in non leap years.

I just dodged that bullet, popped into the world on the 27th.

1st march does make more sense than 28th feb, as that is the 60th day in any other year.

My uncle is celebrating his 21st today.

It does, however Uncle Arf always celebrated on 28th February. Never thought of that before.

Wouldn't he be 14, as in Year 2000 there was no leap day IIRC?

I reckon if your birthday is in Feb than it makes sense to celebrate it in Feb

He says he's 15 on his FB feed.

Edit:
Just checked the internet. 2000 was a leap year.

The 3 conditions for a given year be a leap year are:
- The year is exactly divisible by four (with no remainder);
- If the year is divisible by 100 (years ending in two zeros), it is not a leap, except if
- It is also divisible by 400 (in this case it will be a leap year).

So the year 2,000 was a leap year due to the third condition.

yes... 2000 was divisible by 4, unlike 1900 and 2100
