March always sneaks up on you

Written by vtluu on March 4th, 2003

Or rather, the end of February. Why does February have a measly 28 days anyway? I researched the question a bit and found somewhat non-overlapping answers from WebExhibits and Georgia State’s CHARA website. Guys like Julius Caesar, Augustus Caesar, and a whole bunch of monks throughout the ages had the chutzpah to change the calendar to their liking; I think the calendar is broken and should be fixed once again. Of course, that would probably make the Y2k Bug seem like a stroll in the park. And we call that progress?
