> According to my father this years lead day is a special lead day. Besides the rule of every fourth year being a leap year this is a second rule. If the year ends in 00 (like 2000) it isn't a leap year, even if it has been four years since the last leap year. But every fourth 00 year IS a leap year. It just so happens that 2000 qualifies. Now if every 00 year lines up with what should be a leap year it will be 400 years untill the next 00 leap year. But I don't think 00 years always line up with leap years, so it could be much longer than 400 years before the next 00 leap year. I don't know if this is true or not, but it does sound cool.

It does work out, actually, that the 00's would all be leap years. Four divides into 100 evenly, and there's a leap day this year, so without the other rule there would be one every 00 year.
