Did you know...
... that today marks the anniversary of Calendar Adjustment Day? In order to correct the current calendar to match the Gregorian calendar, Great Britain and its colonies adjusted their calendars so that the day following September 2 (the 3rd) became September 14, 1752. Most other countries had made the adjustment in 1582. Gives the expression "losing track of time" a whole new meaning!
