Bastante interesante, algo sobre los días en Español si conocía pero los otros no, buena info.
ascle te resolveré yo el desafío. http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendario
No hay como hacerse amigo de google, la cantidad de cosas que cuenta, eso sí, si quieres que nos lo relate Marta, seguro que lo hace mas ameno que el "ladrillo" que te vas a zampar en Wiki, aunque a mi no me lo pareció.
Besos y abrazos así según corresponda.
