10 day weeks X 36 = 360 days + 5 days extra. simple.

We've got new calendars coming out of our ears here tlj. Bsides,this is baked by the egyptians, and i'm pretty sure this is half baked as well. |
|
| |
And this should be in culture:calendar. |
|
| |
How about two for one day weekimonths now and then x a few random minutes when everything in the muserparket is 365 for the prince of oe. |

The French also tried this after the revolution. It wasn't popular with workers, who saw their weekends becoming further apart. |

I don't see why we need to measure time in days at all. We could just work arbitrary time periods in huge domes with artificial lights. |
|
| |
Why not simply do away with named days and months and set weeks etc and simply name days '1', '2', etc. Don't complain, we already do it with years. It would be more simple, anyway: |

"You coming to my house on 228?" |
|
| |
"Nah, Could make it on 224 though." |
|
| |
"I'm busy on 224. How about 230?" |
|
| |
So essentially, the meeting is at your house, arriving between twentyfive past two and half past two. |

[drew]: You really don't get it, do you? Were they time statements they would clearly be preceeded by the word 'at', and not, as they are, 'on', symobilsing a date. |

[yamahito]: My name is NickTheGreat. Use it. By the way: what does NS stand for? I think I'd rather be referred to as NTG. Sigh. |
|

I'm sorry Nick, I find it pretentious. I know it's probably not meant to be, but I'm not going to use it. Same goes for a friend of mine who likes to call himself "God" online. It's nothing personal. |

|

I do get it - 'twas a jibe, a joke, something better than sarcasm, falling short of true wit, but close enough for jazz. Don't worry - there's little chance of you symobilsing a date with me. |
