I watched Trainspotting and drank a couple beers.

Yip yip!

So what do we do to celebrate this day? Ideas?
(And no, just so we are not confused here - I'm not proposing to any of you! I love you all dearly, but...no!)

Thanks for that (or did I miss something?)

Lets celebrate orchids, and not the politics behind it in societies. I for one dont need it anymore.

Actually, we celebrate bissextile day!

The leap day was introduced as part of the Julian reform. The day following the Terminalia (23 February) was doubled, forming the so-called "bis sextum". The first day of the bis sextum (February 24) came to be regarded as the intercalated or "bissextile" day. February 29 came to be regarded as the leap day when the Roman system of numbering days was replaced by sequential numbering in the late Middle Ages.

There is a tradition that women may make a proposal of marriage to men only in leap years, further restricted in some cases to only February 29. There is a tradition that in 1288 the Scottish parliament under Queen Margaret legislated that any woman could propose in Leap Year; few parliament records of that time exist, and none concern February 29.[1] Another component of this tradition was that if the man rejects the proposal, he should soften the blow by providing a kiss, one pound currency, and a pair of gloves (some later sources say a silk gown). There were similar notions in France and Switzerland.

I'll celebrate by giving everyone the day off and you must make an orchid related purchase!!

Thanx. It's my dad's B-day so I'll call him; other than that everyone have a great day!

Your dad must still be a teenager!
