 CALENDER 1752

Take a Look at September 1752

 

Have u ever seen the calendar for September 1752??? If you are working in Unix, please try this out. At $ prompt, type: cal 9 1752 - Surprised????

not only in Unix, you can also search it on Google

Explanation for what you see: Isn't the output queer? A month with whole of eleven days missing. This was the time England shifted from Roman n Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar, and the king of England ordered those 11 days to be wiped off the face of the month of September of 1752. (What couldn't a King do in those days?!) And yes, the workers worked for 11 days less, but got paid for the entire 30 days. And that's how " Paid Leave " was born. Hail the King!!!

Before that April was the first Month of the year. Some didn’t agree to use the new Gregorian calender and still celebrated 1st April as a New Year day. The King then announced that, those who celebrated April 1, as the New Year day were fools… (April fools…)

Histories are really interesting!!!
