Yes ... but those folks live in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
They don't care what day it is anyway!
Some (but not all) of us do care what day it is... :)

Proposal for a new, more rational calendar

This might be of interest.
Doesn't look all that great to me.  It has "leap weeks", but there's no 
way to calculate when they occur, so you have to have a hardcoded list of 
years which have it.  Lame.  OTOH, it does get rid of DST, which is good.

The site itself is rather obnoxious, referring to farmers as "hicks", and 
including this choice quote:

Nice.

Paging Claus Färber - DT::F::Pg bug #8516

2004-12-21 Thread John Siracusa
I filed this bug on DateTime::Format::Pg about a month ago but I'm not sure
Claus saw it.

http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=8516

Basically, it looks like the internal subroutine _fix_second() is missing
from the module.  When it gets called as part of the public parse_time()
method, kablooey!  I'd supply a patch, but I'm at a loss as to what it was
supposed to do.

So Claus, are you out there somewhere?  If not, can anyone tell me what
_fix_second() was probably supposed to do?
