1582: Ten days VANISHED! On October 4th, Pope Gregory XIII waved his papal wand, and *poof*, October 15th appeared the next day. Why? To correct the Julian calendar's drift, which was off by 11 minutes per year! This tiny error accumulated over centuries, messing up Easter. Most Catholic countries adopted it immediately, but others (like Britain) dragged their feet for centuries. Imagine missing your birthday because your country was late to the party!

Sweden tried a gradual shift, skipping leap days for 40 years, resulting in a unique Swedish calendar for a while! They eventually gave up and switched back to the Julian calendar briefly before fully adopting the Gregorian one.

If you could erase 10 days from your life, which ones would you choose and why?
