#OTD 270 years ago people in Britain went to bed and woke up again on 14 September; the adoption of the Gregorian Calendar meant the loss of 11 days. The unpopular change was followed by 'calendar riots'; many clung to old dates for Christmas and May Day for centuries thereafter
Alternatively, the government of George II made first contact with extraterrestrials on 3 September 1752, but after a few days the aliens decided to wipe everyone's memories and a story about calendrical change was concocted to conceal the truth. You decide.
Anyway, who's up for a Calendar Riot? #JusticeForOur11Days
Time to reinstall OS
