They are still asking my enemy what he wants to do instead of asking me what I want to do. I want to kill him, and that will be my first instruction, so he's going to keep telling them to use him as their primary contact person.

I feel quite certain that a lot of those "days" I lived through in spring of this year did not have 24 hours in them.

At Elavon I was an ETL guy and my manager Robert, who made an extremely eccentric comment about the KGB one day, was quite proud whenever he got to mention some mysterious file in our ETL shenanigans: to .VOR file.

Later, at Exide, I noticed among the many date columns in the SQL tables was VOR_DATE. That column was defined as DATE-1, but you could do this more than once to change the date as much as you wanted on anything.

The OP is being a madman but there is actually a good ancient historical precedent. For the ancient Egyptians, there were 12 months of exactly 30 days each, and then a special "bonus time" of five extra days at the end of each year. The ancient Egyptians also knew the year to within one day, counting one year as 365 days, hence the above.

Now I ain't sayin that they wuz kingz n shiet, but they had a very logical calendar which is close to, but distinct from, our contemporary ways of marking time, and we've backslid with arbitrary Gregorian bullshit since.

Are you sure you want to know, it will just frustrate you for knowing?


I know you'll say you do, so here you go.

It was changed in order to keep the truth from people, and confuse the slaves. The old system was easy and revealed too much truth about history, so it was changed. The old system was 13s not 12s. 12 decuples + "jesus", ie 12 zodiacs and the sun, 13 things.

Now the year has 365 days, which is (13 x 28) + 1. So the old system had 13 months, each of 4 weeks, plus 1 day "out of time". This allowed the moon to be full on the same day each month, and not drift a day or 2 each month like it does now. The pole day was like leap year, but happened each year sometime in the summer. Hope that helps.

Good thread

The original calendar only had 10 months. Jan and Feb were added later, and in some bizarre fuckup of anything sensible and good, they were added in front of the first 10 months instead of becoming the 11th and 12th respectively.
SEPTember = 7
OCTober = 8
NOVember = 9
DECember = 10

This is also why leap years happen at the end of february, because that is supposed to be the last day of the last month, so it seems this arbitrary fuckup of the month ordering is a somewhat recent event within the last couple hundred years.

Whats really going to grind your gears is that
7 × 4 = 28
28 × 13 = 364
Aka there could be 13 months, 12 of which all have 28 days, and the 13th would have 29, or 28 normal days and a final, special day of the year.

but this whole system of time keeping by the way, puny earthling, keeping track of rotations around an arbitrary star, is for brainlets and hardly accurate. If you really cared about so called time or accurate time keeping, the human race would calculate precisely the moment of the big bang, AND THEN calculate from their arbitrary time units.

Instead (from my perspective) the human race plays tiddly winks of delusional proportions in believing that time keeping should be a relative quantity to any particular heavenly body, especially if the aims of the time keeping system is an enduring time keeping system that will be true at all times. Clearly a singular star based time system is not that.
