The History Guy remembers the Calendar Act of 1750 and eleven lost days. It is a curious calendar-related piece of forgotten history that deserves to be remembered.

As a kid I read a mystery novel set in colonial America where this was one of the plot points. Now I am going to have to go see if I can find the book. :)

But apparently it did anger some people because it messed up their account books. Which I find very understand able.

That is an oddity. I mean, that’s what the Mayans did, and they calculated the sync cycles in order to help the New Agers thousands of years in the future. :^) Others do it, insofar as the Hebrew calendar is primarily lunar.

When the time comes that the Creator is in charge of telling time and Rome isn’t, the reality of Satan deceiving the whole world will sink in to many.

To the ultimate demise of Daniel’s 4th beast,whether one prefers the Julian Rome or Pope Gregory Rome..

Until then, when in Rome.
Tick tock..
