G.R. PRESS BREAKS BIG STORY

In today's edition of the Grand Rapids Press, our newspaper of record broke the following big story on Page 3:

"If you can evenly divide the year by 4, it's a leap year.  We have leap years because the earth's rotation doesn't keep up with the calendar.  We lose a quarter of a day every year, so we add an extra day to the calendar every 4 years to make up for it.  Otherwise, eventually, summer would fall in winter."

I'll let you, dear readers, add the punchline to the joke that the Press has become.

There's gotta be a way to insert 'spring' into that last sentence. Just when I'm tempted to re-subcribe, something like this reminds me that the money's better spent on anything but the Press.
