So apparentyly this guy
thinks it would be a good idea if the calendar was identical every
year. This means, for example, March 7th would always be on
a wednesday. Christmas and New Years would always fall on
sunday. That’s weird
What’s weirder is that to keep it in line with the seasons, every 5 or
6 years (similar to leap years in the Gregorian calendar) there would
be an additional week-long mini-month, which he has dubbed “Newton
Week.”
He also proposes everyone switching over to GMT, rather then having seperate time zones, etc.
This is all interesting and I would think maybe it could happen
eventually, but I think it’s really funny that his target date for
achieving this is January 1, 2006.
your moms ankle smells funny
Who wants Christmas and New Years on a Sunday…we would never get any time off for the holidays then.
I concur with that guy. I also think that there shouldn’t be any of this ‘daylight savings’ business.
I actually like the guy’s proposal for the most part. I’d love to have dates fall on the same day of the week, and I absolutely hate DST and time zones. The only real problem with his plan, in my opinion, other than the unrealistic deadline, is that the “leap month” would require just as much calculation, if not more, as leap days do. So, in a sense, he hasn’t really fixed the problem.
I think every week should go like this…..Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Saturday, Wednesday, Sunday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday….. I think every 6 weeks, there should be a week straight of Saturdays. Mondays start at noon and end at 6pm, & require 2 hr. long coffee breaks, weekend days are 34 hrs. long, and there is never church on Sunday nights…..my plan kicks the crap out of that guy’s plan
….and you only go to church on the 2 Sundays farthest from each other, and on Tuesday night b/c the workday starts at 8am & ends at 2pm. Any takers…..
I like the way Shayton thinks. Good job.
Shaylon, even. And thank you for posting a genuine post.
At first I thought that was just a lot of very confusing stuff….but then I thought about it some more… and it still seemed confusing.
