Things I learned today (here):
Leap days, technically known as intercalary days, are calendar corrections. Despite what you have been taught, there are not 365 days in a year. There are precisely 365.2425 days, which means we gain a day every four years. An exception: Century years cannot be leap years unless they are evenly divisible by 400.
In 45 B.C., Emperor Julius Caesar added a Leap Day occurring every four years to the calendar he created. Until then, calendars were a mess.
Leap Night, 6 to 11 p.m. today. A winter fun extravaganza including a winter forest with bonfires, ice-skating rink, snowboard ramp and rail-jam competition, outdoor video-game competition, snowsuit fashion show and food and drink vendors. In a vacant lot at 1100 Old River Road in the Flats, between Main Avenue and Front Street, Cleveland. Sponsored by Pop-Up City.
Seth Chwast :: Fantasy Tree Frogs Yellow

A dramatic change came in 2003, when at age 20 he took an oil painting class at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Seth, who rarely speaks, began describing his world in paint.
Seth has a created beautiful pieces of art that are direct and honest. He has an amazing story that has been featured on the Today Show in 2007 and 2008. For more information about Seth and to purchase his artwork, visit www.reddotproject.org
