Hell yeah! Check this out.

I get paid bi-weekly on Thursdays and the 29th is payday. So, in a very rare situation, I’ll get 3 paychecks this February. For that to happen it has to be leap year, the 1st day of February has to be a Thursday and it has to be the Thursday I normally get paid. My brain hurts thinking about the odds of that.

Maybe I should play the lottery that day? Nah, probably just rub one out instead 😂

Just think...... How many years, probably decades, did it take to determine the calendar needed one extra day every 4 years...

oh... and lets put it in February

If they were that smart they would have figured out how to do it without leap year.... finding out it doesn't work and cramming in an extra day as a filler seems like something any one of us would do to solve the issue.🤣

No computer needed, just a trusty slide rule. ;)
