You don't have to stick to 7 day weeks. Personally I'm a fan of 6 day weeks, with 4 days work 2 days off. And then you have more weeks and weekends.

Let's see, if we had 10 months we'd need 5 months of 36 days and 5 of 37 days. Each month is a little over 5 weeks, which is 35 days. Maybe 10 months of 35 days and a special month of 15 days.

(I still prefer 13 months of 28 days with 1 extra day, but superstitious people don't like 13.)(I also like my personal idea of 6 day weeks with 4 days working and 2 days off. That leaves 1 odd week of 5 days.)

Interesting, do you have a link to a picture?

In Canada we have (had?) a telecom company come up with Fibe Internet, to mimic Fibre Internet.

How do you get the hover text on mobile?

Put it in a case like an old floppy disc.

They skip leap years every now and then. And then skip the skip. Etc. The rotation of the earth around the sun and the spin of the earth on its axis simply don't line up into a nice number.

Hmmm now that I think about this a light year would be (should be) based on an average year, not what we observe in any given year.

365.2425 days. Different searches give different results but that's what I'm going with.

You're totally right. You're an amazing lemming, roadkill.
