Caesar procrastinated so hard he changed time itself!

(This is funny, but I'd be interested to read a source on how true this is. Presumably there were priests that could take care of such things. He took care of lots of other Roman business while he was in Gaul.)

Update: seems like it was already ~2 months out of sync when Caesar went to Gaul, so this is basically incorrect?
