what happened on September 1752???

If you are working in Unix, try this up …

At $ prompt, type: cal 9 1752 or cal 1752

Surprised ?!

or try to see the calender for September 1752 in any OS, or even in any calender software.

OR, search in Google by type in September 1752. You’ll be amazed to see what is unusual in that year of history …This is what it looks like …

See the 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 Julian 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..

hahaha..(not true)
