Ask girlfriend to marry me on LEAP DAY or Christmas?
Planning on asking my girlfriend to marry me. We will most likely be engaged for at least 2 years as we dont live together but see each other often enough. I know she will say yes, thats not a problem. I cant afford a great ring right now, but she isnt the kind of girl where I need to mortgage the house for a ring either.
Would you rather be proposed to on the leap year day of February 29th with a nice ring, or during the Christmas season with a better ring that might look the same just more valuable?
Answer: Leap day would be cool
Do not wait for christmas
I think Leap day would be more cool and different

Question about LEAP DAY at Disneyland?
Im planning a trip to Disneyland for the 29th of Feb for the 24 hour Leap day.
Ive made hotel and plane reservations already but now Im worried that that day might sell out. I know you can purchase tickets online but it doesnt say you can buy them for a specific day. It just says "valid until December 2012".
So do those tickets automatically get you in the park or can you still be turned away? Or is there a way to buy tickets specifically for that date?
Answer: I haven't heard if there is going to be a special ticket for that day.... you may want to call Disney customer service and ask.
If not... then get there MEGA early and get into the park when the open that way you can be in and have your ticket validated for that day of entry and then you will more than likely be able to leave and re-enter when you want (remember to get your hand stamped). If they restrict entry later it will be to new entry people only, not people with a hand stamp that have been in earlier in the day (at least this is how it has worked in the past during busy holidays).

What are the odds of being born and dying on LEAP DAY?
In "Leap day" by Wendy Mass, Josie says the odds of being born and dying on Leap day is practically astronomical. Because of this, she knows she can rest easy and not worry about dying on February 29th. Is it astronomical or are the odds just really really low of both being born AND dying on Leap day?
Answer: Previous events have no effect on the odds of future events.
The odds of someone, in the future, playing two lottery games with 1-in-1,000 odds, and winning both, is 1-in-1,000,000. However, once the person wins the first lottery, the odds of then winning both is 1-in-1,000, just like anyone else.
If you flip a coin and it comes up "heads" 100 times in a row, it's still 50-50 that the next flip will be "tails", despite the emotional response of "it's due". (This ignores the possibility that the coin isn't balanced, and is weighted to come up heads most of the time.)
Just because someone is born on February 29 doesn't make the odds that they will die on February 29 any different than anyone else, regardless of their birthday.
