But, it isn't even 52 weeks. It's 52 weeks + 1 day, except in a leap year, when it's 52 weeks + 2 days. We need a new calendar system where 1 orbit of the sun really is 1 year, rather than 1 year + ~6 hours. Or ignore the sun for calendrical systems and switch to a lunar system. I suppose we could just make an hour about 0.000683 times longer. Cheers, Tom -- Distance doesn't make you any smaller, but it does make you part of a larger picture.
