    2. Check out the following site in relation to February 30th............ _http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/30th%20February_ (http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/30th%20February) In a message dated 6/21/2004 5:03:18 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: X-Message: #6 Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2004 05:46:13 -0400 From: "Bill Neville" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Subject: FEBURARY 30TH. Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Saturday I was at a cemetery in Lewes Del. There was a tombstone there with the persons date of birth as February 30 ,1760. Was that a legitimate date at one time? I know that there was some sort of thing that happened with the calendar when it was changed from Julian to Gregorian ?? but I don't think it would have resulted in something like this . I am pretty sure this date was a goof . Can anyone enlighten me on this? Thanks, Bill Neville
