   We had our chance with the French Revolutionary Calendar.  After   
   all that's where the metric system came from.  We could have   
   adopted the calendar too.   
      
   12 30 day months followed by 5 or 6 monthless days.  Each month   
   consisted of 3 decades of 10 days each.  The 10th day was a   
   day of rest.
