My film history professor gave us a similar "welcome" in our first day of film school.

Her: Do you love watching movies, sci-fi, weterns, action films, thrillers, dramas....?
Us: Yes!
Her: Well, I'm sorry to tell you that you will stop doing it!

Part of the reason I decided I didn't want to make art for money.

I really enjoy making art ... and I'd like to keep it that way!

Is there a way to change my desktop calendar to the French Revolutionary calendar?

Not that I am aware of, but there is a Twitter account, @sansculotides that will give you the current date according to it.

I bought a wall calendar that I consult for the true date in this glorious era of Liberté.

But there are sadly very few Revolutionary Calendar resources out there.

Perhaps a prayer to the Supreme Being would help  :hmm:

Well now that is not very rational. One honors the Supreme Being through civic virtue not superstitions of the ancien régime

Apps in French for smartphones or computers are not too hard to find but not exactly what chipwich asked. Maybe I'll download one before somebody goes Fouquier-Tinville on me.  :hmm:

I found where one of my great-grandfathers lived in St. Louis.

It's seen better days.  Apparently he lived in the ghetto.  It was the only place in the city where black people could own property (he lived there over a century ago).
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Not to my knowledge.  I think I would have noticed something like that.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny.

I hope it doesn't happen again, for your sake. The Comité is not as forgiving as I am.
