Johns Hopkins professors propose new calendar

It doesn't shift the Sabbath around at all. The seven-day rotation keeps going as it has been. It provides a leap week at the end of the year every six or seven years, but it's still Sunday through Friday.

Did you look at the calendar?

I usually think calendar adjusters are like duodecimalists or Esperantists; they want a better world, but they're not going to try to shoot us to make it work.

[GAB-1955]

Oops... Sunday through Saturday.

[GAB-1955]

The Soviets experimented with a five-day work week, with four days on, one day off; however, they imposed this over the seven - day week, and in Russian Sunday was still called “Resurrection.”

The French Revolutionary calendar tried to make everything decimal, but it was superseded by Napoleon I’s restoration of the Gregorian calendar.

You are right. When you need a really good hospital, Johns Hopkins is the place to go.

I am using the Mayan. At least for a few months.

“I am using the Mayan. At least for a few months.”

Only because the guy cutting info into it ran out of room :)

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Sounds like tho old George Carlin news item about scientists who discovered a new number between 6 and 7.

None of them are any good for most people with cancer...

[TexasFreeper2009]

I’ve always thought that Spring should start on January 1st.

[JRandomFreeper]

The best part about the Mayan calendar thing in 2012? If they are right, we're all gone. If I'm right, I can make fun of them in 2013. And I surely expect to ridicule me some idiots. It's good for them. Builds character.

Areest these clowns for governmental interference. Only the government is allowed to fix what ain’t broke, until it is.

[US_MilitaryRules]

The extra month idea sucks. Why not do 2, two week periods? One in the summer and one in the winter.

[ASA Vet]

According to Eddie Cochran there ain't no cure.

Couldn't we just

If you or a loved one had a rare life-threatening disorder, you’d suddenly be awfully glad JH is there.

I doubt I'll ever have any condition that can't be treated by someone in the Houston Medical Center.

I’m sure we’ll figure out how to go from Thursday to Sunday one year, Monday to Sunday the next.

“Don’t they know there is a lot of money to be made in making calendars obsolete every year?”

While I did enjoy looking at the Dec. 1964 tool-girl calender above my old boss’ workbench, I’m glad that new ones come out every year!

LOL!
