I love the French Revolution Calendar for one reason and one reason only: the translations that the British press of the time used for their months, as a mockery of course:
Wheezy, Sneezy and Freezy; Slippy, Drippy and Nippy; Showery, Flowery and Bowery; Wheaty, Heaty and Sweety
I do remember seeing that in my "French Revolution and Napoléon" class, but I'd forgotten just how delicious the pun was. Sigged.
