If there’s anything significant about the 502nd one, it’s that it’s only 4 years after the 501st, which in turn was 4 years after the 500th. You may remember the 500th leap year as significant, because it’s the year we evaded doomsday brought on by computers that couldn’t perform the same function that my 12-month 2006 Laputa-themed planner could.
Of course, who knows if Earth will be around for the 503rd Quadri-Annual Anno Domini Leap Year, since 2012 is when the Mayans officially calculated that the world would end.
