- Is that the one with 13 motnhs of 28 days? Then ouy
- have either one or two leap days every year (two every fourth
- year except for the 100th, 200th and 300th years that still only
- have one)... :-)
-
- The nice thing about this calendar is that the days of the
- week are the same in every month --- that didn't come out right
- did it? What I mean is the 1st, say will ALWAYS be a Sunday.
-
- The bad thing is that there will never be a Blue Moon.
- Of course there are the months that will have NO Full Moon
- every now and then...
-
- The big question is what to name the 13th month!
- The zodiac already has that taken care of - most of
- Scorpio is really Ophiuchus anyway... (the serpent bearer...
- ObMotss: Was Ophiuchus gay? --- it's an awfully big serpent).
-
- (Waldeaux wants it named after him)
-
- I'm sure that the majorr opponents to this other
- calendar would be the Church... the irony of course bein
- that the calendar is largely based upon Pagan symbols
- and numerology... It would be nice to get the new year back
- to March 21st though... or January 4th (time of perigee).
-
- Then there's the question - where does Memorial Day go?
- And of course everyone's birthday gets reassigned... :-)
