Right, but back to your initial question, I don't think my initial
answer was even close to the mark.
I believe the problem you're having is that the validates_inclusion is
looking for an enumeration hanging off the :in. i.e. [1,2,3,4,5] or
1..5 will work but (My Name Is Frank)..(Your Name Is Louie) somehow
doesn't look right, does it?
You're doing :in => (Sun, 22 Nov 1908)..(Sun, 22 Nov 2108)
which just isn't going to happen. Try converting to Julian days, that
way you'll be bounded with two positive integers.
