Here is my incredible fact for the day:

In September 1752 the Julian calendar was replaced with the Gregorian calendar in Great Britain and its American colonies. The Julian calendar was 11 days behind the Gregorian calendar, so September 14 got to follow September 2 on the day of the change. The result was that between September 3 and 13, absolutely nothing happened!

The calendar switch also influenced the way George Washington's birthday is celebrated. He was born on February 11, 1731, but the anniversary of his birth is on February 22 because of the 11 days eliminated from the calendar switch. At the same time, New Year's Day was changed from March 25 to January 1, thus according to the new calendar, Washington was born in 1732.

Martin and WT, sounds like you have to split those pitchers to even it out!

How appropriate this is in the 'incredible facts' page. WT has a) a set of Newcastle pint glasses and b) a Newcastle bar towel

Well that is not the only reason, or so he keeps telling me but it seemed to cinch the deal and well the night I beat you in pool the first time I was in MI may have a little to do with it too......
