The Sailor And The Pirate

A sailor meets a pirate in a bar, and take turns boasting of their adventures on the high seas. The sailor notes that the pirate has a peg-leg, hook, and an eyepatch.

The sailor asks "So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?"

The pirate replies "We were in a storm at sea, and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out a shark bit my leg off."

"Wow!" said the sailor. "What about your hook"?

"Well...", replied the pirate, "While my men and I were plundering in the middle east, I was caught stealing from a merchant and the punishment for theft in the middle east is the loss of the hand that steals"

"Incredible!" remarked the sailor. "How did you get the eyepatch"?

"A sea gull dropping fell into my eye.", replied the pirate.

"You lost your eye to a sea gull dropping?" the sailor asked incredulously.

"Well...", said the pirate, "..it was my first day with the hook."

French Republican calender abolished

In 1805, it was the last day of the use of the Republican Calendar introduced after the French Revolution. In countries using the Gregorian calendar it was 31 Dec 1805, but in France it was known (for the last time) by thename, 10 Nivôse de l'an XIV,on the Republican calendar. Also known as the Calendar of Reason, it had been introduced 24 Nov 1793, but back-dated to begin its day 1 of year 1 with the new Republic, on 22 Sep 1792 (Gregorian calendar). It had 12 months of 30-days each, with new names, each having three 10-day décades instead of 7-day weeks. The new emperor Napoleon Bonaparte had its use abolished, and from the following day, 1 Jan 1806, France would use the Gregorian calendar again. A failed attempt was made in 1871 to reinstate the Republican calender.«
