French Revolution Calender

[CptColumbo]

Is there a site where I can look up what the day would be according to the calender created after the French Revolution?

You have to do some math.

To prove to my Algebra teacher that I never need to use what she taught me, I refuse to do any math I don't need to do.

I had some very frightening algebra teachers. The first was senile, and one day snapped and went into an Old Lady Rage, spitting with fury, screaming at us that we were all stupid, and how when she was a missionary in Zaire all the "homeless heathen negro children" would "run down the street, begging us to send them algebra teachers so they could lead Christian lives". She retired for "health" reasons soon after that. The other algebra teacher was less alarming. She just wore an old-fashioned aviator's helmet to school every day, and a leather jacket, and a scarf, and boots, like she was a WWI flying ace. She spent all her money on artificial tan, and wound up with orange skin.

Though neither of them was a patch on my second year Spanish teacher, who went really and truly mentally ill. He started talking to imaginary people, then he threw a chair at a student and called us "whores and bastards" and walked out of class. He came back six months later, drugged to the eyebrows, and moved verrrrrry slowwwwwly from then on.

Public education is a hoot, really!

We had a high school English teacher, male, get fired for having sex with one of the students. Seems he was also the coach of the girls' basketball team. This is what happens when you record over your private videos with basketball tapes, but fail to realize that the length doesn't cover. Some girls got an education that day when they got to the end and there was more tape there....


Though I hear they're married now...so maybe it was love....

oh, yeah...and for the OP.

Why would you want to do this, if I may ask? Seems an odd question.

Hmmm... Maybe there's a common thread here. My high school English teacher had sex with some of the students but never got fired. But he only chose students of the same sex, so maybe that doesn't count.

Great teacher, though. He overcame my poisoning due to endless "My Favorite Sport" essays in elementary school.

If you're a francophone, there are some free software programs available for download that will do the conversion. I'm not sure if they work for dates outside the period when the Revolutionary (or Republican) Calendar was actually in use. Such programs are primarily used by genealogists when researching births and deaths in France during that time.
