Why can't we have a 13 month calendar? (1 Viewer)

13 month calendar

13 months, 28 days in each month.  Every month has 4 weeks.  Every day falls on the same date month after month.  Scheduling becomes easier.  Holidays and work planning becomes easier.  Comparison from month to month becomes easier (business-wise).  And we get a day called "Year Day" at the end.

How do we make this happen?

 

[3C's]

Geez, give them 12 months and they ask for 13. Never happy!

 

[RokNRole]

Might have something to do with superstition

 

[Jayrod]

When I take over the world, I'll make this happen.

Until then, we are stuck with what the Romans threw together.

good idea, but it woudl suck to have the 4th of July and xmas always on Wednesdays..

Is this a Seinfeld bit?

On a side note, I have learned that the year 2100 will not be a leap year to adjust for the additional 11 minute difference in our year from the standard 365.25.

Basically all of us will not have lived in a year that the leap year was skipped (last one was 1900).

sounds too Metric System-y to ever catch on - perhaps if the rest of the world kicked the tires for a century or so

Sounds perfect. Either take the two days before or two days after off and you got yourself a nice 2 day work week

I was thinking the same thing but birthdays and St Patricks Day.

Flavor Flav would have worn a calculator around his neck

 

[RokNRole]

On the bright side everyone's birthday will change which will let us slide a few more years when we forget our wives and girlfriends

 

[BowieMercs]

Be careful what you wish for. You will get an extra monthly payment on everything that way and I seriously doubt anyone will get an increase in pay.

It is kind of nice having a couple of three paycheck months.

I think it's better to have the "year day" start the next calendar year.  That way, like now, the 1st of the year rotates through each of the days of the week...

This happens regardless of what day the holiday would fall on....

Could we please move the Super Bowl to Saturday?

 

[Juxtatarot]

I'll put this on the list to implement after we convert the the metric system.

Yes, good luck getting them to change it.

It's about time someone thought that way.

Before or after we all convert to Islam?

This is the kind of thread that was made for Leroy Hoard.

I think the 13th month should be called Foosbuary.

A lot of corporations use this, especially in Europe. Typically they are called 'Periods' and the fiscal year starts in December.

Not really looking forward to starting my new period.
