Interesting website, but what happened to August being the 8th month? :O
It is just a light reference to the Latin names of the months (in the early roman calendar the year began in March). July was Quintiis (5), August was Sextilis (6), and actually September means seventh (sept is 7 in french as an example), October means eighth (octo is suffix for eight like in octopus or octagon or even octet)

Till this very day I tend to mistake October for August cause of that...
Octo suffix always reaches me first and then it takes a reprogramming act to revoke October's proper meaning :-[
