Re: No More Leap Year
[ QUOTE ]
So I was thinking... since leap year is actually just humans way of admitting, "Hey look... we screwed up. We miscalculated how long a second should be so that 31536000 of them equal the amount of time it takes for the Earth to do a full revolution around the sun," I have a proposal. Instead of adding a full 24 hours every four years, could we instead just have 6 hours of "non-existent" free time at the end of every year? Yeah, I know, it would screw up night and day, but that can easily be recalibrated at the start of the next year. Think about it, 6 full hours of no-consequence life. Who else thinks this is a fine alternative? [/ QUOTE ] Uh, why go through the hassle? Seems like the system works ok now. |

Re: No More Leap Year
some societies had extra days on the end of the year where they just had huge feasts and stuff. We should do something like that

Re: No More Leap Year
What do you mean by consequence-free time? Because that doesn't sound to appealing if you take it to be 100% literal. I don't want people robbing and trying to kill me for 6 hrs...
If you mean 6 hrs of just no work and all play, then I still think it's retarded [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] ** until tony talked about food I'm ALL FOR IT!!!! w0000000000t bring on tha steaks |
