On December 11, 1975 nothing happened.  Then-President of the United States Gerald Ford blamed himself for accidentally skipping an entire day, and made up for it by adding a day to 1976.  Since 1976 was already a leap year, it marks the only year in history that saw a February 30th.  It was President Ford’s greatest accomplishment in office, however he could not shake the stigma of missing an entire day, and lost the 1976 election to Jimmy Carter in a landslide.  Many attribute the loss to December 11, 1975, the day that never happened.  Several self-proclaimed “Fordians” honor Ford’s greatest achievement every December 11th by falling down a flight of stairs at precisely 2:30 P.M.
