"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You may have heard Monday is \u201Cleap day.\u201D Feb. 29 is the extra, 366th day of the year occurring every four years because of the timing of earth's rotation around the sun.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I\u2019m not entirely sure how the math on leap day works. All I know is if we are going to have an extra day of the year, it should automatically be a day off, not a Monday. Mondays are the worst.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But if you\u2019re feeling down that leap day has you working an extra shift, don\u2019t worry\u2014this list should cheer you right up. We decided to rank the best leaps in history.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;7. Quantum Leap&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Leaping through spacetime? American television peaked almost 30 years ago.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;6. The Jump From &lt;em&gt;Free Willy&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Free Willy&lt;/em&gt; is a potent, emotional film about a whale trying to reunite with its family. Willy literally had to leap to save his own life. This YouTube video, titled \u201CBEST ENDING EVER - FREE WILLY\u201D is not entirely wrong.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;5. Michael Jordan\u2019s dunk from Space Jam&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This loses points for maybe not&amp;nbsp;being a leap. Is it just a stretch? I\u2019m not sure, but Jordan\u2019s feet leave the ground and he eventually lands, so I\u2019m calling it a leap. And this is by far the best dunk of M.J.\u2019s career, real life or semi-animated.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;4. Cam Newton\u2019s Front Flip&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have there been better NFL leaps? Actually yeah, there have been. Jerome Simpson from the Bengals immediately comes to mind. But no one wants to read about Jerome Simpson on leap day. This Cam Newton front flip\u2014he &lt;em&gt;allllmost&lt;/em&gt; sticks the landing\u2014is worthy of the 366th day of the year.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;3. Jarron Gilbert\u2019s Pool Jump&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The serious injuries I would sustain while attempting to jump out of a pool don\u2019t even have names yet.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;2. Yves Klein\u2019s \u201CLeap into the Void\u201D&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Klein\u2019s famous photomontage is just one of many memorable works by the artist who led France\u2019s Nouvau&amp;nbsp;r\u00E9alisme movement. Klein later invented his own color.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;1. The Moon Landing&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201COne small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.\u201D&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This has been, \u201CThe best leaps in history, ranked.\u201D&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
