Did you know? October comes from the Latin term octo meaning 8. Initially in the calendar, October was the eighth month. However when the Emperors Julius Caesar and Augustus made their own months- July and August- October was pushed to the tenth month it is now. Side note- February has 28 days, because Caesar and Augustus each took a day to add to their own- giving them 31 days each to Februarys 28 in a normal year. See more on: goo.gl/mU9nBZ
