¶ september, 1752 Posted 22 years, 1 month ago on December 27, 2003
something they showed us when I took CS015 way back in the day and always thought was kinda neat, but forgot about for a long time.

At any unix shell, type: cal 1752

That'll give you a nicely formatted calendar for the year 1752. The cool thing about it is the month of september. it's only 17 days long. historians will give you this schpiel about switching from julian calendars to gregorian calendars and popes and jesus and stuff, but I just think it's cool. end of story.

This is the output I get:

bento ~ $ cal 1752
                             1752
