  21. That's true. OTOH, someone might want to write a program that would simulate the 
  22. movements of asteroids, comets etc for a few thousand years to see if one is about 
  23. to hit the Earth and when. In this case, it might be nice to have a calendar to 
  24. keep the correct datum. Not that it would matter to us...
