If you were given the chance, how would you change the arrangement of days and months in the calendar?

Despite its widespread use, the Gregorian calendar has a number of weaknesses. It cannot be divided into equal halves or quarters; the number of days per month is haphazard; and months and years may begin on any day of the week. Holidays pegged to specific dates may also fall on any day of the week, and few Americans can predict when Thanksgiving will occur next year. Since Gregory XIII, many other proposals for calendar reform have been made, but none has been permanently adopted. In the meantime, the Gregorian calendar keeps the calendar dates in reasonable unison with astronomical events.

Mr Dave Gorman, a blogger, proposed a very unique way to solve this problem. By adding a thirteenth month, a new precise 28-day calendar will complete 364 days. Check out his site to know more about this. http://gormano.blogspot.com/2008/01/problem-solving.html
