Why was the calendar so popular?
Because it had lots of dates!

Did You Know?
The joke plays on "dates," which can mean the days printed on a calendar or a busy romantic social life. The word "calendar" itself comes from the Latin "kalendae," the first day of each Roman month, which was when debts were due. The calendar most of the world uses today was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, and to fix the drift in the old Julian system, ten whole days were simply skipped that October.
