Jenna (Off Topic) Seeing that it is a weekend I'll take the liberty to post an interesting e mail I recd the other day.
30TH FEBRUARY 2000
February 2000 will have 30 days.
There are some number of seconds that are accumulated every day which make up to become an extra day once in every four years and that is why we have the leap year. In the same manner there are some number of seconds which are accumulated from the leap years which form to become an extra day once in every 400 years and that is why in the year 2000 there will be 30th Feb 2000.
The computer industry are talking about Y2000 problem and now with the 30th Feb problem, all the electronic products with calendars will be dumb. Is it a new threat to the entire world?
What will we call the year when Feb has 30 days?
Would it be worth investing in a Co. that may have a solution to this problem ... anyone with ideas??
Best wishes
Burjis
