Born of boring mathematical necessity, Leap Year has prompted a variety of romantic legends.
The reason Leap Year was invented is rather dull. But, in spite of its very practical reason for being, Leap Year has tickled the fancy of romantics around the world and through the ages.

Find out who -- and what -- we celebrate on Presidents Day, as well as some other fun facts.
Check out any calendar and you’ll see that the third Monday in February is designated as Presidents Day, a holiday most commonly associated with two of the (arguably) most important presidents of our country, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. But really, only one of those is accurate. Read on to find out who -- and what -- we celebrate on Presidents Day, as well as some other fun facts: 1. Abraham Lincoln and George Washington share the same birth month. Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, while Washington was born on February 22, 1732 -- only some 10 days and 77 years apart. But while Honest Abe made some important contributions to our country’s history, the federal government never really saw him as Washington’s equal. Here’s why…

Will it be six more weeks of winter, or will Punxsutawney Phil climb out of the burrow?
UPDATE: Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, which means six more weeks of winter. How accurate will Phil’s weather prediction be for 2012? Make sure to take the Patch Poll below! ORIGINAL POST: On Feb. 2 of each year, according to tradition, the world’s most famous groundhog announces whether or not winter will soon end by either climbing out of his western Pennsylvania burrow, or retreating back to bed. If this is any indicator, I’m guessing that Punxsutawney Phil will not only leave his hole in the ground, but will likely set out a lawn chair and enjoy the early spring. But how did a groundhog graduate to meteorologist? Here are a few little-known facts about : 1. The first Groundhog Day was celebrated in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania in 1886…

How much do you know about the civil rights leader?
On Jan. 15, 1929, Martin Luther King Jr. was born. He was a man who would eventually become the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a renowned leader in the advancement of civil rights around the world. Today, Jan. 16, we celebrate the birth of King as a day to promote equality among all people, regardless of background or ethnicity. Among his best-known accomplishments, King was a chief motivator in the movement to end racial segregation in the United States. He was the youngest man to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and his beliefs in nonviolent activism reflected the work of Mahatma Gandhi. Here’s a few lesser-known facts: 1. King is one of three people to have a federal holiday in his honor, the other two being George Washington and …

Find out why people fear this particularly unlucky Friday.
The superstitious don’t have to wait very long in 2012 for the unluckiest of days to arrive: The first Friday the 13th is here. In fact, this is just the first of three -- the most possible occurrences in a single year -- in 2012, since April and July also will have a Friday fall on the 13th. But where does the superstition come from? No one really knows the exact origins of Friday the 13th, but historians speculate that it has to do with the combination of two superstitions -- that Friday is an unlucky day, and 13 is an unlucky number. The combo-superstition is a fairly recent one, at least in the written sense; there are few references to it earlier than the beginning of the 20th century. Friday has been an unlucky day since at least the…

Ring in 2012 with a few things you probably didn’t know about celebrating a new year.
It never ceases to amaze me how the beginning of a new year can bring such a newfound sense of responsibility, renewed hope in lost endeavors, and pledges to change the way we think, act and feel. Of course, by mid-January those hopes and pledges usually dissolve into empty promises, leaving only a foggy memory of a really awesome New Year’s Eve party. That said, here are a few fun facts about celebrating a new year that might stay with you: 1. The first New Year’s Eve ball was made because of a ban on fireworks. In 1904, the owner of the New York Times threw a huge New Year’s Eve party with an enormous fireworks display. This became a tradition -- hence the Times Square party every year -- until 1907, when NYC banned fireworks. So that …
