A lot of people were sending me emails about Friday the 29th of February. What they forget is that 2013 is not a leap year. The nearest leap year where Feb 29th is a friday is 2036. If you do not believe me, you can run the script your self.

nearest_leap.rb

	require 'date'
	year=2012
	until(DateTime.parse("#{year}-02-29").strftime("%a")=="Fri")
	year=year+4
	end
	puts year
