Fun little though about this: only on the centuries divisible by 400 is there a leap year, so it's a bit less or more than one nice day every 4 years on average over a person's life depending on which turn of the century they lived (ignoring how the length of their life affects how many leap years they experience).
A slightly easier way to think of this: leap years happen every 4 years, except that we skip one every 100 years (those that end in 00) unless it's divisible by 400. So we had a leap year in 2000 because it's divisible by 400, but 2100 will not be a leap year.
What was all that shit about in the 90s then?
So your saying once every for years I can finally be happy
That seems statistically correct

Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off. -Tylor Durden
