[Closed] Why don't we have 13 months?

Balls I really meant to change it to chat forum too..

Because the damn Romans only added two to the ten we had before that!

Make for an even shitter days of the months rhyme!!

Dave Gorman did a piece on this

Each month would be 28 days, which is 4 weeks

But 13x28=36[b]4[/b]

What would the thirteenth month be called?

What would you can the 13th month though?
Edit: great minds... 😉

I vote for Tridectober. Or Brexuary.

Or maybe make it deliberately awkward, just for the fun of it. Jamuary or Decenber.

But 13x28=364

That's the secret day. We don't talk about that day..

And day 365 is "intermission"

If we were going to do it properly then we should scrub July and August so that December is back to being the tenth month, then come up with names for months eleven, twelve and thirteen.

The extra month could be called Trevor or monthy MC month face after an online poll.

It is triskaidekaphobia gone mad i tell thee

Why don't months equal lunar months?

Because then we'd know if payments are due simply by observing the moon's status*. If cloudy then there can be a clause for being late with payments 8)

*Also some confusion whether synodic, draconic, sidereal, anomalistic etc.

Humans are boring, we like to "round stuff up even when nature tells us that stuff can be different depending upon when and how.

Lunar months are 29 and a bit days long, so wouldn't fit into a year 🙂

When I worked for a local authority we were paid 13 times a year. If you kept your monthly outgoings bunched close together then you effectively got a 13th Bill-free pay packet each year. I'd managed to arrange it so that I got mine in July and used it as holiday spends.

That 'intermission' day though would mean that you bill-free payday would slowly drift over the years

While we're at it, can we have Christmas every 14 months, so we have a warm Christmas some of the time.

All explained here.

We should start a petition, they seem to get people far and change the world. At least that's what my Facemuck feed would suggest.

Surely the only sane answer is to alter the earth's orbit and rotational speed until there are a sensible number of days in a year.

Crikey I can only imagine the chaos in the world if we changed the way the months work

Hope trump isn't reading this.

Don't think i could handle a month called Trumpuary.
