Hate to say it, but if Feb 30 is the date, it'll never happen because there's only 29 days this year.

I think you meant to say, it won't happen until next year because February is a short month this year.

Never say never.


What I think he meant to say was that the Gaints are going to Win the Super Bowl.

Never's always a long time....

"Julius Caesar reformed the calendar because it was out of synchronisation with the actual seasons, this in the early part of 46BC. This year ended up by being 445 days long to bring the calendar back in line the the sky's and seasons.
Not surprisingly it was called the "year of confusion."

He created a calendar that more nearly matched the annual journey of the earth round the sun. There were twelve months with alternating lengths of 31 and 30 days.
The exception was February which had 29 days and Leap years gave February 30 days to keep the calendar correct. Much of his knowledge came from the Egyptians.
The senate had the month of Quintilius renamed July after Caesar as an honour to his reform.

When Augustus became emperor the senate voted that the month after, then called Sextilus, should be name in his honour and thus it became Augustus.
However the senate did not like the fact that Augustus's month had 30 days and Julius's has 31 so they changed Augustus to 31 days, taking the extra day from February. This threw into disarray the organised way the months changed from 30 and 31 days.

Not satisfied, they tinkered more altering the number of days in the months according to what they thought was important and because they did not want three consecutive months with 31 days.

Consequently February lost a day (except in leap years) and we were left with the apparently random way the months alternate."
===================================
Since the advent of the Julian calendar Feb 30th has happened one time in one place- Sweden, 1712.
