In Latin septem means "the seventh." Cuz, back when the new year started in March, September was the 7th month.

I thought that July and August were added into the calendar for Julius Caesar, which pushed September from its previous spot as seventh month to its current spot at ninth.

Land sakes alive, the steak's alive.

I like cheese biscuits

..a good response for both Dr Zh's comment and this thread

Cheese biscuits are like the only reason to go to Red Lobster.

Dr. Zhivago, you are right...

This is from our friends at Wikipedia:

The first step of the Julian reform was to realign the start of the calendar year (1 January) to the tropical year by making 46 BC 445 days long.

In Latin, septem means "seven" and septimus means "seventh"; September was in fact the seventh month of the Roman calendar until 153 BC, when there was a calendar reform from the month of the Ides of March to the Kalends, or January 1. In the Northern hemisphere, the beginning of the meteorological autumn is 1 September.

But to see a firefly means it reminds me something I lost in the past time or imagine some hope in the future,so shimmery bug light is adequate for me.
