ObUselessPost: Did you know Ethiopia are still using the old calendar? They are 6-7 years behind the rest of the world. Right now it's 1991-1992 there. Do the Time Warp! It would be distinctly nice to experience 1992 all over again (fond memories then of a woman) ... ok I'll shut up and crawl back under my rock..
ObUselessLinuxPost: cal correctly displays the calendar for 1752! This worries me a bit here, because the calendars for different countries varies because of the adoption of the Gregor dating systems at different times. Rome adopted it straightaway in 1582, but Britain didn't get it until 1752. Does cal correctly prints the appropriate calendar depending on the country? I wonder what the calendar looks like for Eithopia?
Cheers, Alex.
