Damien Wildie:

  It is Friday in Australia now

====

Yes, I know that.  I was at Caltech, it was one of the
first things they taught us.

I just don't understand why, if Australia had a Thanksgiving
Day, they would choose to have it on the same day as the US.
Does any other country?

On the other hand, if Thanksgiving Day actually mattered to
anyone important, the original ctime(3) would have had a
special table to compute its date, including all the different
a
dates it had in the US before 1942.
