To those mentioned in my dedication, to quote Marx "Nerds of the world unite You have nothing to lose, coz its already all gone" Smirk
A for the question, i'll keep it simple
There have been several odd years in the history of the world, like There was no Full Moon in February for the years 1809, 1847, 1866, 1885, 1915, 1934, 1961, 1999.
There were several discrepancies when the Gregorian calendar replaced the Julian, Ten days were omitted from the calendar to bring the calendar back in line with the solstices, and Pope Gregory XIII decreed that the day following Thursday, October 4, 1582 would be Friday, October 15, 1582 and from then on the reformed Gregorian calendar would be used.
But Name me one year where they had both new year's eve and new year's day fall on the same day.
Happy new decade/year/month/day to all. Hopefully next year, our lives would've improved such that we aren't on a quiz blog on new years eve.
A sitter of a question, but its new years eve, so if you are on a quiz blog, Solidarity Mate.
Now for the question.
Originally names Ikes GIlbert, after the British Captain Thomas Gilbert, the island is now known as __X__. Although in the native Gilbertese tongue the island name is Tungaru, they chose the name __X__, which is the Gilbertese Rendition of Gilbert
A fairly obscure island nation, which has raised its voice in the Cancun and Copenhagen Summits due to the fact that it will sink in the next century at the present rate of deglaciation (not a word i made up, its an actual word).
But Apart from this, this island nation has another claim to fame once every year So ID the nation, and its claim to Fame.
And a Happy New Years to all, but this won't be the last question of the day, month, year or decade. Stay tuned, or get a social life lol
