While it does have some cachet in its Leap-Yearedness, 2008 is an ordinary year. At least when you compare it to prime years. Remember when you were 17? Now that was a prime year, eh?
So let's all enjoy 2008 in it plodding ordinary leap-yearedness. Have fun, take care of yourself, and do what you need to do to get ready for 2009, which is a Prime Year, divisible only by 1 and itself.
If I were prone to making things up for religious purposes, I would foment a rumor that bible scholars all agree that the Second Coming of Jesus will be on a prime day of a prime year. I'd tell people that 2009 has 365 days and all you have to do is identify the prime numbers between 1 and 365 and you'd have a leg up on everyone else on which day during 2009 Jesus would be returning.
Remember, you heard it here first.

You're a prime candidate for a prediction failure.
That seems like a good idea until you remember how bad America sucks at math.
Mrs. LK, of course you recognize that I was not actually predicting anything. I was just pointing out, obtusely, that people enjoy making love out of nothing at all.
Sr. Pistolero, Americans suck at pretty much everything, except being Americans. Nobody does it better...
I thought Jesus was due back next Tuesday. His Walking on Water demonstration is at 2pm.
