I was reading Alan Boyle's column (well blog) on MSNBC and was intrigued by the title of his latest entry "Remaking the calendar". So I read and it was an interesting article about calendar reform. The newly proposed one is called Common-Civil-Calendar-and-Time and is proposed by Dick Henry. I am not impressed by it.

If I am deadly serious I think this calendar is a waste of time and I just don't see the point. It has the same problems as the gregorian system and we don't get the nice change in days. Isn't it nice to have your birthday falling on the same day as they day you were actually born on? How about the fun that you can have because it is Friday 13th? I love to wind people up on those days! Also this idea of "Newton Week" is crazy. Basically an extra week just to cover up for the fact that the calendar is, like the Gregorian system, flawed. At least the current system doesn't have these extra "months" pop up from time to time.

He also wants to initiate this by 2006 - now the guy is being silly.
