That's what we call MOondays here (or will starting next week!) lol

 

I guess it depends upon whether or not you can get past her unshaven legs.

The last time there were any major changes to the calendar was back with Pope Gregory XIII. One of the big benefits I've seen touted are all related to scheduling for businesses and schools (grade school through college). Other benefits are how interest calculations in finance would be simplified, throwing out many archaic and confusing rules. I've worked in I/T for 20 years and to this day scheduling is still a PITA with various holidays that rotate around the calendar where sometimes it's a three-day weekend and then others it's a four-day weekend. The PITA factor is worse in payroll applications.

Chatter about this never happening sound somewhat like chatter of years past: GM will always be the biggest auto maker; only rich people will be able to afford cell phones; computers will only be for big businesses and scientific research; etc.

It's been in the past few decades that Greenwich Mean Time was made obsolete, and it only makes sense that as technology and our knowledge increase that changes to recording and marking of time should evolve as well.

 

I wouldn't worry about that calender issue too much. After all, didn't the Mayans predict that 2012 would be the last year that we experience, or did their calender just run out of room? I'm gonna try to hang around til the end, you know, for the three days of darkness and then the stars falling from the sky. Ought a be quite a show. Maybe I'll have my truck back on the road by then.
Happy New Year to all, remember the cure is a hair of the dog that bit you.LOL

 

GMT Obsolete? All they did was change the name...... Universal Standard Time. (which seems kinda arrogant to me, as we are ONE planet, NOT the entire universe.)

 

The Mayan calender is merely the end of the cycle and nothing more. The stories of it calling for the End of the World is nothing but rumor and conjecture for worry warts and tinfoil hat territory.

 

What did this poor guy ever do to you?

 

 

How, exactly, does it make sense? I really do want to know, and am open to changing my mind if convinced that the benefit is real, worthy, and outweighs the cost.

At this point, the benefit I can see accrues to a class of people IDGAF about in the first place. There's more to living life well than continually increasing the efficiency of production of meaningless gadgets in order to provide greater wealth to those already wealthy.

GMT obsolete? Which planet are you writing from?
