hey, in that month there's some days missing! why?
From a unix FAQ I found lying around...
"This is the month in which the US (the entire British Empire actually) switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar."
The date difference between the two systems accounts for the "jump" from the 2nd to the 14th. Kinda like the jump from 02:00 to 03:01 during the spring change to Daylight savings.

I'm happy to report that "cal" on my trusty old Red Hat box reports Feb 2000 as 29 days and Feb 2100 as 28, as it should.
Heh, heh. The Unix cal command ROCKS. Try: cal 9 1752
