Fun Fact of the Week: 5th week of December, 2016 · 5:01am Dec 31st, 2016
First of all, I'd like to apologize for the lack of a Fun Fact post last week. I fell asleep before remembering that I hadn't done one, but since the one for the 3rd week was posted at a time where both the 3rd and 4th weeks were active (it was Saturday in some parts of the world and Sunday in others), I simply changed the title of that blog and made it work for both weeks. Anyway...
Fun Fact of the Week: In 2011, the countries of Samoa and Tokelau skipped December 30th in order to move to the other side of the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean. This was done to improve trading with New Zealand and Australia.
