New Calendar Proposal

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the something-to-think-about dept.

belg4mit writes "An astronomy professor at Johns Hopkins is pushing for the adoption of a new, static, calendar. The press release is written better than his site but a little short on details. Interestingly he claims this should be easy to implement and points at the hoops coders must jump through for the Gregorian calendar." Nobody is taking my 10 hour day plan seriously either.

    Three posts and the site's already slashdotted. This must be some kind of record.

    Unfortunately, any effort to replace the current calendar will be met with grave opposition by the hyper-religious, who seem inclined to believe that a box on a chart MUST correspond with their chosen Sabbath (be it Friday, Saturday, or Sunday). This is why I prefer the Discordian calendar with five day weeks, it screws everyone up equally. It's also why I'm supposed to eat a hot dog every Friday. :)

    How is the Riemann zeta function like Trump rallies? Both have an endless number of trivial zeros.
