England and its American colonies did not adopt the Gregorian Calendar until 1752, when 11 days were removed from the calendar...

I don't know the exact time, but in the bible, a dying king asked for proof on something, and in turn god stopped the day for about 40 minutes.
The second time it happened was like during a battle or something, the day was stopped almost for an entire day, just about 23 hours and 20 minutes.

Actually something like this was mentioned in a article by NASA explaining how they found a missing day in this calculation about how old earth was.

I just solved the problem, Corp.
here's the article you're talking about btw
http://www.progressivetheology.org/principles/Missing-Day.html
came across it in my research as well
interesting

I just solved the problem, Corp.
woah, what?
Damn, I need to get some sleep

XD

The Dark Ages or the time period when the colonies didn't adopt the Gregorian Calendar like Night Fox said.
