Have u ever seen the calendar for September 1752??? If you are working
in Unix, try this out. At $ prompt, type: cal 9 1752 Image:
Surprised??? ? not only in unix, u can also search it
in google 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.Hail the
King!!!
