I know i've already made one absurd pointless blog today but idk my mind is too full of random useless knowlege that I feel like I need to share for reasons beyond me.
So anyways...
The days/dates between 2nd and 14th September in 1752 did NOT exist? This is because this was the year that the calendar changed from the Julian (Julius Caesar) to the Gregorian (Pope Gregory XIII) calendar and because the Julian calendar did not have leap years, they had to cut out dates to make the years correct for the new calendar. So the days went 1, 2, 14, 15, 16....30. But the month still ended with 30 so people worked for 11 days less but got paid for 30 days. This is how paid leave started. England was the last country to adopt this system.
So I guess you can thank Pope Gregory Xlll for paid vacation.
Not to mention that you should thank Thor on Thursdays....yeah look that shit up. Magical.
