La Bougie du Sapeur is a French satirical newspaper launched in 1980 that is published only on Leap Day, making it the world’s least frequently published newspaper.

The dump months are what the film community calls the two periods of the year when there are lowered commercial and critical expectations for most new releases from American filmmakers and distributors. Domestic audiences during these periods are smaller than the rest of the year, so no tentpole movies are released. January and February are usually most commonly described this way, with August and September sometimes included. Releases during those times primarily include films that would have been released at other times of year had they done better at test screenings, films with less prominent stars, genre films, movies that cannot be easily marketed and films intended for a teenage audience, which has fewer entertainment options outside the home.

Februarius, fully Mensis Februarius, was the shortest month of the Roman calendar from which the Julian and Gregorian month of February derived. It was eventually placed second in order, preceded by Ianuarius and followed by Martius. In the oldest Roman calendar, which the Romans believed to have been instituted by their legendary founder Romulus, March was the first month, and the calendar year had only ten months in all. Ianuarius and Februarius were supposed to have been added by Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome, originally at the end of the year. It is unclear when the Romans reset the course of the year so that January and February came first.

February 29, also known as leap day or leap year day, is a date added to leap years. A leap day is added in various solar calendars, including the Gregorian calendar standard in most of the world. Lunisolar calendars instead add a leap or intercalary month. It is the 60th day of a leap year in the Gregorian calendar, and 306 days remain until the end of the leap year. It is also the last day of February on leap years.

Pluviôse was the fifth month in the French Republican Calendar. The month was named after the Latin word pluviosus, which means rainy.

Ventôse was the sixth month in the French Republican Calendar. The month was named after the Latin word ventosus, which means windy.
