My friend Paul does. I think it's funny that he doesn't have a day to celebrate his birthday on every other year.

My oldest brother enlisted on Feb 29th in the Air force in 2002 for a 4 year contract. He was like: "Man, I sure hope they don't try to keep me here for 16 years."

Leapling Births:

A person who was born on 29 February may be called a "leapling". In non-leap years they usually celebrate their birthday on 28 February or 1 March.

For legal purposes, their legal birthdays depend on how different laws count time intervals. In Taiwan, for example, the legal birthday of a leapling is 28 February in common years, so a Taiwanese leapling born on 29 February 1980 would have legally reached 18 years old on 28 February 1998.


famous birthdays

Superman's traditional day of birth in the DC universe (due to the nature of comic book stories the year would remain inconsistent). This is a traditional approach many writers take to explain their characters slow aging.
