8. A calendar of 12 months of 28,29,30,or 31 days makes more sense?

It seems more likely this calendar was an overt rejection of lunar cults.

Or so it was claimed by a college girlfriend of mine.

She was recreating an entire religion starting here whenever she wasn't writing Star Trek slash.

Clocks, calendars, and money were created by people who had their own political agendas. Unfortunately the systems we've settled on alienate us from the natural world. They've become realities unto themselves.

We live by a calendar cooked up by the Romans and polished by the Catholic Church. That doesn't mean it's the best possible calendar.

If I was designing my own calendar I'd take the Moon's 18.6 year cycle into account as well.
