Wrong.  In the gregorian calendar, we skip a leap year
on every year ending in "00" EXCEPT those divisable by 400.

So this Feb 29 will be a rather unique day, it won't happen
again until the yeaer 2400.

Of course, for those unaware of the Gregorian skip (which
happened in 1700, 1800 and 1900) they will think nothing
is different....
