Did I get whooshed or something?  Sept. 1752 was the changeover from the 
  Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar.  (The Julian one was less 
accurate and had drifted 10 days from the solar year.)

One might wonder if this unnaturally short month wasn't a PITA.  It was 
a GIGANTIC one.  Landlords and tenants argued about how much rent was 
due.  Employers and employees argued about how much wages should be. 
Everyone got confused.  Thank god it was 350 years ago and not likely to 
happen again.
