Default February 29

Anyone here have a birthday tomorrow?
I've only, knowingly, met 1 person who's birthday is Feb. 29.
I've met two with April 1st birthdays and two the same date as myself.

Do they celebrate it 4 times in one day to make up for the 3 years that don't have feb 29?
Leap year facts: 4 million people in the world are leap year babies.
There is a 1 in 1461 chance of being a leap year baby
Toni Robbins,Dinah Shore,Antonio Sabato Jr. were all born on a leap year.

I've got a buddy of mine that is turning 60 (15?) on the 29th. And my mom's birthday is April 1st. She says it's the only day fools aren't born.

Shore's last 29 Feb birthday anniversary was in 1992 (28 years ago). Never heard of the other two.

My maternal grandmother's birthday was April 1. (And, she also passed away on April 1, her 79th birthday.)

Just curious, Tachus, are you asking about April 1 because it is April Fools' Day?

A boy I hung around with as a kid had his birthday on February 29th. Another man we met through mutual friends also had a birthday of February 29th. Haven't seen either in many years, so no invite to a party has come our way.

Yes, one of my friends would always celebrate on March 31st. She didn't want any practical jokes.

Mother had her birthday on the leap year. She claimed she only aged one quarter of the time as regular folks!

Unfortunately she died from cancer at age 56.

Sorry to hear that. My dad was 63 when I lost him. It still makes me angry. He was just the best dad that a guy could have. Before I moved away from MA, we would meet each Thursday night for beer and oyster sliders.
