New Calendar Proposed
Richard Conn Henry, a professor at Johns Hopkins University, is proposing a static 12-month calendar for the world to use. With his calendar, every year would be identical to the one before it, meaning every day of the year would always be on the same day of the week each time it comes around (e.g. if Halloween is on a Saturday one year, it would be on a Saturday every year). This new calendar is offered as a way to eliminate the high costs and complications of working with a different calendar every year. If adopted by society, it is expected to save corporations and individuals a great deal of time and money. The only problem: you have a 71% chance of your birthday being a weekday, each and every year.
