Just reading about Sweden's 30 Feb 1712, a unique date in the history of calendars.

Thanks for sending me on a reading tour. My belief that the Roman February had 30 days seems to be more myth than fact,
Do you know about the Ethiopian calendar? It's seven years behind and has an extra month of a dozen days. Thus has lead to complications sometimes when I have needed to produce a marriage certificate.

30 February? And here I thought travelling back from Finland to Sweden (1 hour time difference) during the night that both countries switched to winter time was complicated enough...
