fantastic and we should call the 13th month catember in your honour, wow,does that mean we have an extra day celebrating?
sorry you lost me on that one
Ok, you do that and let us all know how you get on over the next year.
Good luck x
thats a new way of losing a day.
Great idea! That would make it so much easier to remember the date. But you would still have to implement an extra day on leap years, which would have to be at the end of the year again to avoid messing with the days. A shame it would be too difficult to implement!
yep thats what i say too.
down with the self appointed Yahoo Answer Nazis the jerks have no sense of humor.
What would the 13th month be called?? And what would happen to everyones birth days/dates that fell between 29th and 31st of a month?
*LMAO*
Great concept, but what day of the week would that extra day be, Sunmontuewedthurfrisaturday?
Superb idea - an extra months salary - i'm all for it.
Like us, the Romans divided each day into 24 hours, and they assigned 12 to the daytime and 12 to the night. These did not run from midnight to midnight as our modern method of timekeeping does, but from sunrise to sunrise. This effectively means that the length of the Roman hour varied according to the season, so that during the summer solstice around June 21st when the period of daylight is considerably longer than the night, the twelve hours assigned to the daytime would each have to be 1 hour and 16 minutes long, while conversely, during the short days of the winter solstice around December 21st, each daylight hour would be only 44 minutes long.
There were only two days during the entire year when the Roman day contained hours of exactly 60 minutes. These dates occurred during the equinoxes, when the length of the day is exactly equal to that of the night; the vernal equinox occurred every year around March 21st, and the autumnal equinox about September 21st.
This fluid method of timekeeping was perfectly natural to your average Roman, who was not governed by the same rigid schedules prevalent in our modern technological society and did not carry either a wristwatch or a FiloFax.
So, yeah if we were to consider going back to the roman calendar then you might have a 13...
