Cloud the Dinosaur King Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 At first I thought this one was a rock, but looking at it closer it looks like it could either be a coral or a sponge, or a rock with holes in it.

Kane Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Just now, Coco said: In the year ? Coco "the year of the lord." There are not a lot of options in French to secularize the term.

And, if you wanted to confuse the matter further, historical dating before 1752 takes some configuration given that England was the last in Europe to make the transition from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. It meant that, in 1752 ("The Calendar Act"), 11 days were omitted from September (although Scotland had already adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1600, so confusion on the island with two different dates for every event!).
