      Leap Day Cocktails Lost to Time

      (Newser) - Feb. 29 still comes once every four years, but celebratory cocktails marking the bissextile have gone out of fashion—along with a leap-year tradition that requires plenty of liquid courage, Eric Felten notes in the Wall Street Journal .

      Danes Apologize for Viking Raids

      (Newser) - More than 12 centuries after Viking raiders began pillaging settlements in Ireland, the Danish government has apologized for their behavior.
