buckee Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Maybe it's got something to do with the fact that the world is slightly tilted on it's axis . Heck I don't know. That's not a nice question to ask someone on meds, ya know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Actually a full year consists of 365.25, thus an extra day every 4 years to get us back on time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
