Did You Know...

... In one year the moon circles the earth 13 times?
... In the current global standard calendar, a
     month doesn't correspond to one natural cycle?

... The word "calendar" comes from the Roman word,
     "Calends", which was the name of the account book,
     the book recording monthly debts and bills to be paid?
... Time isn't money?

... September means seven, but is the ninth month?
... March is named for Mars, the Roman God of War?
... July and August are named for Julius and Augustus Caesar?

If today is Monday, June 1st,
what day of the week will July 1st be?
.... and August 1st?
......... what about November 1st?

If you were to build a house, wouldn't you use a ruler of equal measure?

The current twelve month calendar is made of months of unequal measure:
31 days is followed by 28 or 29 days, then 31 days, 30 days, 31 days, 30 days, 31 days, 31 days, 30 days and 31 days.
