Answer to the Trivia Question: After Julius Caesar's (Mr July) grandnephew Augustus defeated Marc Antony & Cleopatra and became emperor of Rome, the Roman Senate decided that he too should have a month named after him. And since July had 31 days, Augustus's month should equal it. (Augustus could not have an inferior month!) The original calendar had alternating 30/31 day months other than February meaning August should be 30 days long. So they took another day from February and they switched around the last four months so that there weren't 3 long months in a row (July, August and September.) Thus we had to create the little song that I use today: "30th days hath September, April, June and November. All the rest have 31 except February and it has 28." Doesn't rhyme but it works!
