    The following memebrs of USCHO are listed:

    Viva La Bam, killerbee, AGPennypacker, lucky7 (56), jasonbohn9 (36), Roy Patrick (32), Tomb (16), Donald from Albany (12), quakk (12)

    The only one whom I recognize is Tomb. IIRC, he used to post on RPI threads. Interestingly, it states that he was born on 2/29/00, but he joined USCHO in 1999.

        For somebody turning 20 years old today, it's only their fourth actual birthday. They're breaking the meme!

            Any year divisible by 400 is not a leap year because it's not exactly 6 hours extra in the days/revolution math.

              I thought it was the other way around? for years that end in 00, only those divisible by 400 are leap years.

              http://www.livescience.com/18726-lea...-calendar.html

              Years ending in "00" are not leap years unless they can be divided exactly by 400, so 2000 was a leap year, while 1900 was not.

                Weren't you around in 2000? What FreshFish wrote is correct. 1900 was not a leap year, 2000 was a leap year, and 2100 will not be.
