Note that these dates are valid only from March 1900 to February 2100. This is because 1900 and 2100 are not leap years in the Gregorian calendar, while they are still leap years in the Ethiopian calendar, meaning dates before 1900 and after 2100 will be off set.

Famous quotes containing the word months:
“... the art of politics is to be ahead of your time—about six months will do it. Any more than that, and people forget you were there.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
“Six months at most after they get here, these young people—and they are mostly young who come—have lost every idea they had, except flirtation and temperature.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“I’m 65 and I guess that puts me in with the geriatrics. But if there were fifteen months in every year, I’d only be 48. That’s the trouble with us. We number everything. Take women, for example. I think they deserve to have more than twelve years between the ages of 28 and 40.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
