No More 9/11's

good point, let's get rid of the entire calendar and go to a thirteen moon calendar

i'm all for 13 moths of exactly 28 days each, with the four or five and some fraction days left over in a year just declaired a timeless sort of days off from having to worry about things like time and calanders. you'd still have a 9th month with an 11th day though.

i think the only way you'd be able to eliminate that happining is you'd have to have a lot of months so that none of them would be longer then ten days. that would of course be possible, but almost as illogical as waht we have now.

you do know that december was once upon a time month ten, before julius and agustus got stuck in there in the middle. that would put the 25 of december where the 25th of october is now. a much more logicaly probable date then for it to have been moved to midwinter to usurp midwinter's eve.

there is a 13 month of 28 day calender and we're, last time i checked, which was more then a decade ago so i'm not sure exactly now, we were in the year arround 5thousand(!) and something.

the debate was then should the year start exactly on one of the solstices and equanoxes, or on the exact day of some particular phase of the moon nearest one of them. (the 28 day months being exactly lunar)

the baha'is have a calander of 19 months of 19 days each, this has the advantage of months and years having the same number of devisions in them, with of course, like with the 13month lunar calendar, a period of 'intercalery' days.

they didn't go far enough i think though. for some reason that makes to me no sense, they kept the seven day week, when, with a 19 day month, it would be perfectly logical to devide the month into three, six day weeks, with one day left over, which would corrispond to their feast day on which work is (i think, i don't remember for sure) recomended to be suspended anyway. this would give us a four day work week with the usual two day week ends but with every third weekend being a three day weekend!

so i like that one too. IF it were to be actualy done that way. (the 28 day lunar month of course devides evenly into 4, 7day weeks, which is of course where we get the seven day week FROM!)
