Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - Feb 18-22, 2012 Rio de Janeiro is ready to open its world-famous Carnival on Friday, to the delight of hundreds of thousands of tourists and celebrity visitors. Before the official Feb 18-22 celebrations, "blocos," or block parties that attract up to tens of thousands of revelers start sprouting up across the city. While most blocos are simply an excuse for drunken dancing in the streets, some have themes, like Copacabana's "Blocao" costumed pet parade or "Sargento Pimenta," or Sargent Pepper, with its medley of Beatles hits.

The Gregorian calendar is a modification of the Julian Calendar first used by the Romans. Persons born on leap day, February 29, are called "leaplings" or "leapers." However fun it may be to rib them for enjoying 75 percent fewer birthdays than the rest of us over the course of their lives, they do have the special privilege, between leap years, of celebrating their nativity a full day earlier if they so choose. Leap Year has been the traditional time that women can propose marriage. Interesting facts about leap years In many of today's cultures, it is okay for a woman to propose marriage to a man. And if she does it on a leap year’s day, the funnier and luckier the moment will be. In Denmar...
