> Earth's years are 365.26 Earth days long. That's why every four we add the extra day. However, then there's still the little 100th hanging out there that needs to be worked in every hundred years. Although what you've described sounds like they're dropping days instead of adding them. Either way it's pretty anal.

Actually, an Earth year is approximately 365.24 Earth days long. If it were 365.26, then we would need a leap year more often than every four years; instead, since we skip 3 out of 4 centuries, leap years are less often then every four years.
