Happy Picard Day!

Happy Picard Day

"Captain Picard Day is celebrated on June 16th because it is the equivalent date to Stardate 47457.1, mentioned in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode entitled The Pegasus. In that episode, Captain Picard Day is an occasion for the Enterprise to host schoolchildren and show them what Starfleet is like."

Thank goodness I had a drink yesterday. It must have been because it was Picard Day.

At select venues, I'm told, you get a FREE Picard doll on PICARD DAY! One of the many reasons it's referred to as the most wonderful time of the year ...

Gotya: 0.4571 of a whole year falls on June 16.

For non-leap years (like 2015):
(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15) / 365, or 0.454794..., of the year falls before 12:00 AM June 16.
(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 16) / 365, or 0.457534..., of the year falls before 12:00 AM June 17.

For leap years (like 2016):
(31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15) / 366, or 0.456284..., of the year falls before 12:00 AM June 16.
(31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 16) / 366, or 0.459016..., of the year falls before 12:00 AM June 17.

So, regardless of whether it's a leap year, it's always on the same day. It's just at a different time of day on leap years.

Neat!
