Bissextile

Okay, how is that for a cool word? It's sounds kind of naughty, doesn't it?  In reality, it's another name for leap year - a bissextile year or intercalary year.  Or so Wikipedia tells me.

February 29th is known as a leap day and as you know, it only comes around every 4 years.  It makes me think we should all be out playing leap frog to celebrate.
