Post subject:  I think I invented a new calendar system
I heard there are problems of our modern (Gregorian) calendar. That's because days slowly shrink every year. In other words, it takes less than 365.2422 per year. From a moment I can think about correcting a time, I think I can solve this.

Here are the today's dates from two calendar versions:

Modern: Sunday, January 16, 2005
Mine (no name yet): Sunday, January 17, 2005

My calendar and the Gregorian ones have similarities:

Every 4th year is a leap year (e.g...2008, 2012, 2016...)
Every 100th year is NOT a leap year (e.g...1700, 1800, 1900, 2100...)


However, they both have differences:

Modern: Every 100th year is NOT a leap year unless it's a 400th year (e.g...1600, 2000, 2400...)
Mine: Every 100th year is NOT a leap year unless it's a 500th year (e.g...1500, 2000, 2500...)

Modern: Currently skip 13 days from Julian Calendar.
Mine: Currently skip 14 days from Julian Calendar.

Modern: If the year's 2300, skip 16 days from JC. If it's 2500, skip 17 days.
Mine: If the year's 2400, skip 18 days from JC. If it's 2600, skip 19 days.


If you're confused, PM me and I'll reply you. If you approve my calendar system, how can I convince other people to change from modern version to mine?

How about introducing a new metric system or language?

The thing is: experts have much better systems (for calenders) than we all know (actually, there are some pretty perfect calenders around), but they didn't launch it to our system we have right now.

Reason: it would be too complicated to change all the data's for the future!

By the way: We have the year 2012 now (because of the miscalculation in the 4th century) and nobody wants to change it - the reason is obvious!

What a coincidence! I invented a new calendar system too.

Here's the differences:

Current calendar system: There is no "TonyMontana Day".
Mine: Every Friday is TonyMontana Day, This is a holiday where nobody works, except for Best Buy employees, Movie Theater employees, and Mexican restaraunt employees. On this day you are to shower TonyMontana with presents and strippers.

I've spent quite a lot of time on this new calendar system. If anyone is confused, please send me a PM. I will subsequently laught at your PM and will refuse to respond. I will however post your PM here in this thread exposing you to public ridicule for your stupidity.

The last two people to change the common calendar system were Pope Gregory XIII, and before him, Julius Caesar, the most influential people of their respective times, and even they had some opposition. I can't picture a KJer being compared to them as an equal.

Good point, clearly if want2write moves to Rome he'll have a better shot at implementing this calendar. So, my suggestion to w2w would be to sell his computer to finance a trip to Rome. I know a few others here that would help chip in money to see this happens. He should then vow to spend every waking moment working on getting this calendar accepted, which would leave no time for him to spend here. It sounds like a good plan if you ask me!

I won't get into that false statement. Kind of like saying "No Comment", is it not? :wink:

A new calendar system, eh? Hmm... if we're going to make a new calendar system, we need at least five "Fuck You Days", where Hello and Goodbye are replaced with fuck you. Oh, and when you ask someone what's up or how they are, you kick them in the testicles. The day is only for guys, because it's mostly guys who are assholes to begin with.

I have problems of my calendar, so I created another four methods that one of them should work. They follow all but basics of Gregorian Calendar except that every 500th year is a leap year (or years 2000, 2500, 3000, 3500...). However, each method skips days from Julian Calendar differently:

#1
13 days from Julian Calendar: Today-Feb. 28, 2100
14 days: Feb. 2100-Feb. 2200
17 days: Feb. 2400-Feb. 2600
18 days: Feb. 2600-Feb. 2700

#2
16 days from JC: Today 'til end of February 2100
17 days: Feb. 2100-Feb. 2200
20 days: Feb. 2400-Feb. 2600
21 days: Feb. 2600-Feb. 2700

#3
12 days from JC: Today 'til end of February 2100
13 days: Feb. 2100-Feb. 2200
16 days: Feb. 2400-Feb. 2600
17 days: Feb. 2600-Feb. 2700

#4
8 days from JC: Today 'til end of February 2100
9 days: Feb. 2100-Feb. 2200
12 days: Feb. 2400-Feb. 2600
13 days: Feb. 2600-Feb. 2700

Idk which one of five (seen above and in 1st post) is best choice

Most of your changes seen to affect the year 2100 at the earliest.
Even though computers were mass produced only 20 or 30 years before the year 2000, nobody had the foresight to make the computers y2k-friendly.
If the top scientists didn't have that foresight 30 years in advance, why would anyone have the foresight to change the calendar a full century before any of your calendar changes would actually come into effect?

After the French revolution, the French tried to redo all measurements of time and space to make them easier...it would all be base 10. There would be ten hours in a day, ten months in a year with ten days in a week, and so on. It was definitely much easier, but the only thing that stuck was the measurement system, which is now known as the metric system.

imagine sleeping for 8 hours a day with such a calendar : )

Base ten is not necessarily easier for day to day calculations.

24 hours can be divided in chunks of 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8. 10 hours could only be divided by 2 and 5. Same logic applies to having 60 minutes instead of an even hundred, etc.
