"sept" is Latin for seven. So why is it the ninth month of our calendar? Was J Caesar really that dumb? ...and why did he add an extra day to the month of Sept, which was removed after his death?

I think we had this discussion once before and it turns out that it wasn't an apple. ;-)

Ummm...same reason that October, is the 10th month despite "Octo-" being a prefix that means "eight."
WITHOUT THE HELP OF ANY OUTSIDE RESOURCES:
Before our calendar was modified to its current configuration, September WAS the seventh month. In the Roman calander (which was later modified to Julian and then to Gregorian) there were only 10 months.

I'm horrified that 1) I spelt that wrong, and 2) my spellchecker didn't alert me!It depends--what month was your C-section, and how much did the baby weigh? Did you name him (or her) Brutus?
I've never lost a game of Trivial Pursuit, by the way.
