Gilbert and Sullvan FOR THE WIN!

Because on February 29th, we must pay homage to a very different Pirates fandom... :)

"For some ridiculous reason,
to which, however, I've no desire to be disloyal,
Some person in authority,
I don't know who, very likely the Astronomer Royal,
Has decided that, although for such a beastly month as February, twenty-eight days as a rule are plenty,
One year in every four his days shall be reckoned as nine and twenty."

-W.S. Gilbert, before whom every wordsmith must bow down.
