Happy Leap Day, everyone!

It’s February 29th, the special day that shows up on our calendars only once every four years. But, how did Leap Year come about and why do we need a Leap Day?

Check out the short video here below created by C.G.P. Grey called “What is a Leap Year?” which gives us the real scoop on this whole Leap thing.

Actor Will Ferrell was this year’s King of Bacchus at Sunday’s Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans, LA, and as usual, he was awesome.

The Anchorman actor donned the King of Bacchus attire, complete with crown, to ride aboard a float during Sunday afternoon’s parade, where he threw out traditional Mardi Gras items to the crowds, like beads, doubloons, and trinkets such as – get this – mini cowbells!

Check out the video here below of Ferrell at the parade.

Are you obsessed with Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim?

Then chances are your Valentine already knows how much, so why not use your love of the game to show them how deep your love is for them with these Skyrim-themed Valentine’s Day ecards.

Artist Jemma Salume made up a bunch of Skyrim-themed Valentine’s Day ecards, so put down the controller for a few seconds, and send one of these messages, that contain sentiments like “I am sworn to be your Valentine” and “I used to be an adventurer like you…then I took an arrow in the heart.” Or, maybe send one of these to your Skyrim addict to get them to step away from the game on this holiday of love.

The loving folks over at Archaia and the team behind the graphic novel Mr. Murder Is Dead sent out some really cool Valentine’s Day digital cards.

Check out the full sheet of Valentine’s Day cards here below. I think my favorite one is “You put the VD in Valentine’s Day” (an oldie, but goodie, no?).

Mr. Murder Is Dead is published by Archaia along with Star Trek‘s Zachary Quinto through his Before the Door company.

When I was looking around in stores for some Valentine’s Day gifts for my sweetheart, I found boxes of chocolates in Spider-Man-themed heart-shaped boxes, as well as sets of Spidey Valentine’s Day cards.

If you didn’t come across any of these items, you can still get in on the Spider-Man-themed Valentine’s Day fun thanks to a Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark mobile app.
