Happy Bissextile Columbus
Friday, February 29th, 2008
Happy leap day.
Bissextile means “leap day.”
I had never heard the word… you learn something new every day. I learned the word on ActiveRain (a real estate network) from Pam Winterbauer of San Ramon California.
Pam has all the definitions… 2008 is an “intercalary year”… nothing to do with gender or preference. Just an extra day.
“Calendar quirk gives proud few a bounce” by Kathy Lynn Gray in the Columbus Dispatch gives these benefits for those celebrating a birthday today:
Boston Market restaurants will give anyone with a leap day birthday a free lunch, said Angela Proctor, spokeswoman for the chain.
“We looked up how many people had birthdays that day and decided this is a fun thing to do,” she said.
Papa John’s Pizza is offering a free pizza for birthday folks who order it from www.papajohns.com and pick it up at a local pizzeria.

I believe local McDonalds have a free breakfast burrito… regardless of whether you are a leapling (born on Leap Day) or not.
