    They age at 1/4th the rate of the rest of us. Certainly is not fair.

    Anybody else see a problem with this statement?

    DECLARE @selectDate = getdate()-365

    Leap years are vastly overrated.

    We should roll back the clocks (and calendars) by 24 hours at the end of each Feb 29th and pretend the 29th never existed.

    Edit: Just thinking (I know, scary thought) this could have interesting consequences for significant events happening on Feb 29th.

    I think therefor I am .... at least I thought so.

    All I needed was one item. Something real important happened on a Feb 29th. We absolutely need to keep Feb 29th.

    What happened?

    1984 - Canadian PM Pierre Elliott Trudeau announced he is stepping down

    Nah - obliterate the day anyway. He never really stepped down :Whistling:

    If we are going that far, then an explosives vest is necessary 😀

    Can't have a devil without an angel. I think Lynn wants one too - needs the halo icon.

    If you divide age by 4 for them, then they have to be 72 actual years old before they can vote or get a driver's license, and 84 before they can drink legally in most US states. And Social Security (65 years) would be 260 actual years for them. So it's not all advantageous. 😀

    When upgrading SQL 2000 to SQL 2008, be sure to always disable IIS on the application server.
