Subject: Jamie's birthday?

I have no idea whether this fact ever been noted at LOL, but when checking another thing read following concerning the change of calender (Julian vs. Greogorian) in Great Britain:
".. Britain and the British Empire (including the eastern part of what is now the United States) adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1752, by which time it was necessary to correct by 11 days. Wednesday, 2 September 1752 was followed by Thursday, 14 September 1752."

So the real Jamie's birthday should be May 12, present time..
When this change was made, he was still in the cave and most likely gave a damn which date or month it was.

[> I know the callendar change has been mentioned on compuserve a few times. I think that Jamie would've continued to celebrate his birthday on May first regardless of the switch from Julian to Gregorian. -- Lady Oliver, 12:43:52 07/20/12 Fri
