Post your answer in the LEAVE A COMMENT section below. Then scroll back up and see what I have to complain about. Or you can wait until afterward . . . I’m not the boss of you. You know what? Don’t write anything for all I care! But it’d be disrespectful not to.

Who is the most disrespected person in history?

It takes 365.2422 days for the Earth to revolve around the sun. This odd number is why we have leap years. Adding a day to the end of February every 4th year gets us to an average of 365.25 days per year. Close, but not good enough in the long run. Removing leap years that are divisible by 100 gets us closer: 365.24 days/year average. If the year can be divided by both 100 and 400, it returns to being a leap year. This gets us to 365.2425 days/year—precise enough for any human life span. John Adams and William McKinley, though, surely found this a bit annoying—disrespectful even—each serving one fewer day as President at the turns of the 19th and 20th centuries. Rumor has it Bill Clinton was initially unaware of the “divisible by 400” rule, believing he, too, was destined for that same turn of the century disrespect. When made aware that 2000 was a leap year, he described the excitement of an extra day in the Oval Office as orgasmic. He does have that frame of reference.
