Any leaplings on TalkBass?

(Had to look for the English word because never used it before)

Just curious about this after a conversation with a friend. Anybody here who was born on a February 29th? If so, when do you celebrate your birthday on non-leap years (*)? It's been three leap years since I joined TalkBass and haven't noticed any birthdays that day, but most likely I've missed them. Thank you in advance for your input!

*: In my opinion, it should be on March 1 (the day after February 28), but maybe there are other reasonings behind that.

I used to joke that it's so sad that leap year babies die so young...

I personally know 4. Three of which that were in my graduating class. What are the odds?

One of my friends from high school was. I am not.

I know three, or four if you count TB's very own Thor.

My dad's uncle was born on feb 29th.

He celebrated his 21st Birthday (84th) just a couple years back!

I knew a kid in grade school that was born on leap year.
I've never met anyone else born on that day.
