It has been proposed by some people that a new calendar system be implemented consisting of 13 months of 28 days. The remaining one day would be called Earth Day. Under this system the same date would occur on the same day year in and year out, and would in fact do away with the need for us to constantly check our calendars to confirm days.

Interesting proposal, but... it'll be a little hard to implement, I'm afraid. The Chinese use the lunar calendar but they're having a hard time keeping it alive as the mainstream calendar. Maybe the 28-day calendar will one day overtake our current calendar too... I just doubt that it'd be in our lifetime.

Fine with me. But I think it's more important to get rid of the silly 24-hour day. Just 100 quarters of 1000 seconds. And of course, Americans should get rid of their silly measurement units. The base ten number system was invented some 2000 years ago, it's about time that we start using it seriously.

Who gets to name the new month? What happens to birthdays? If I was born on April 30th and now we go by a different calendar when was I born?

Why have months at all?
Why not count by days only, much like computers do for calculation?
Let me see.
Yesterday was 38,931.28
AH! Today's date. 38,932.28
Tomorrow is 38.933.28 At this same time.
Even the time of day is there. .28
Of course we will need new clocks, but think of the business generated. I may support this and go into the clock business.
Damn, when is lunch?

congratulations for the discovery... very logical.
but i have some questions about;
On what, is the traditional calender based?
Do people need this innovation?
What is the practical prove, that this innovation is better, then the common, actual, calender system?
Can we effort the changes, this innovation will bring with?
Are we getting too much comfortable, to have a look on the calender?

I'll make note of that on my calendar and get back to you.

I haven't heard anything like this and it sounds very odd to change something that has worked and been in our culture and history for so long.
