   you know that you can automatically handle this with a small bit of math,   
   right? i'd have to look at some code to make sure i state it correctly but   
   leap years can be determined by current year div 4 but there's also a 400   
   involved... this is why i need to take a sec later on and look at the real   
   formula... then you can have an array with all of the month days count and   
   automatically adjust FEB when it has 29 days ;)
