Hey, if it were up to me, we'd be using the Druid calendar, which consists
of 8 45 day months and one 5-6 day month at the end of the year. :D
(Unfortunately, I can't find a wikipedia article about it, so the neo-pagan
Wheel of the Year article will have to do:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_of_the_year)
