JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Timekeeping is a minefield of obsolete and failed technology. We have synchronous time and whatnot, but some absolute morons decided that we should have a prime number of days for the week. And don't even get me started on what the Romans did to the months.

13 28 day months with a single worldwide holiday at the beginning. Every 4 years, there's a 2 day holiday instead.
