Best of the Month: WordStream's Top 10 of February

 

Leap Day

Happy Leap Day, earthlings! Does anyone else find this day kind of creepy? I?m actually getting on a plane to Chicago later, and I?m a little worried that maybe we?ll fly into a wormhole and I?ll end up on the other side of a black hole. I don?t know, my physics is a little fuzzy. I just know Leap Years are weird. (And did you know there are leap seconds too? The next one is coming in June 2012. Watch out! No pun intended.)
