Jimmy Westlake: About time
Have you ever wondered why the month of February has only 28 days most years, but occasionally has 29 days, as it did this year? This whole leap year thing started in the days of the Roman Empire under the rule of Julius Caesar. Astronomers, even that long ago, realized there were not a whole number of days in a year. In fact, there are about 365 and 1/4 days in a year. Since it wouldn't make any sense to have the last day of the year be only one-fourth of a day long, Julius Caesar decreed in 44 B.C. that we would let the one-quarter days accumulate and then add in a whole day, a leap day, every fourth year, sticking it at the end of February.
