A leap year (or intercalary year) is a year containing one or more extra days (or, in case of lunisolar calendars, an extra month) in order to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal year. For example, February would have 29 days in a leap year instead of the usual 28. Seasons and astronomical events do not repeat at an exact number of full days, so a calendar which had the same number of days in each year would over time drift with respect to the event it was supposed to track. By occasionally inserting (or intercalating) an additional day or month into the year, the drift can be corrected. A year which is not a leap year is called a common year. In the old Julian Calendar, there was only one rule: Every year divisible by 4 is a leap year. This calendar was used before the Gregorian calendar was adopted. To learn more click HERE.

VCO Announces Our Newest Giveaway

 
Defending the Caveman
  Defending the Caveman is a worldwide, rock-solid tour-de-force.  This blockbuster has won the hearts of millions in more than 30 countries and has been translated into 15 languages. This is a hilariously insightful show about the ongoing misunderstandings between men and women that have both sexes roaring with laughter and recognition. With hysterical looks into contemporary feminism, masculine sensitivity and the erogenous zone, Defending the Caveman mines the common themes in relationships that go straight to the funny bone.
