And where you hands meet, the two knuckles are "July, August", which both have 31 days. (Note: the last knuckle isn't used) Example: October is on a knuckles, so it has 31 days But November is not on a knuckle (and in this case has 30 days) See The Days in Each MonthSee the days in each month (use the arrows to change the month): images/calendar.js The Moon

Then around 710 BC Numa Pompilius, the second King of Rome, added January (for the god Janus) and February (from Latin februum meaning purification). Unfortunately this wrecked the nice numbering system of the later months. Many years later (44 BC) Quintilis was renamed Iulius (July) in honour of Julius Caesar, and in 8 BC Sextilis was renamed Augustus (August) in honour of Augustus. 1021, 1022, 1023, 1024, 3671, 3672, 3673, 3674, 3675, 3676 |
