February 7 2014 Omnibit Trivia by William W. Lawrence Sr.
Roman Emperor Augustus, an egotist, checked the calendar and noted that Julius Caesar had a month (July) named after him. Auggie did a bit of politiciking, and had the calendar makers put in the month of August. But, August only had 30 days and July had 31. August extended his month to 31 and shortened Februrary to 28 days.
Shortened Februrary to 28 days
