To be fair, half of it makes no sense to us, either.

It's worse when you live in a country that uses two calendars for different reasons. Or when what year it is is based on when which emperor came into power. It's annoying.

[yellowhasthechest]

If it makes no sense then why are you doing it?

[meteorstorm]

Because we still need some way of telling what time of year it is without basing things solely on weather.

[yellowhasthechest]

So pick one. Pick one calendar and make everybody use it.

Worked for us.

[meteorstorm]

The one we use here is the one that gets used in most official capacities, regardless of country.

[yellowhasthechest]

Geez, you people are confusing.

[meteorstorm]

You say this as if yours wouldn't be confusing to us.

[yellowhasthechest]

Ours is pretty straightforward. It divides all the seasons evenly.

[meteorstorm]

Four seasons. Three months per season.

[yellowhasthechest]

For you, that'd be right.

[meteorstorm]

Twelve months in a year. It's about as even as you can get.

[yellowhasthechest]

There are more than twelve months in my year.

[meteorstorm]

Which would make no sense to us.

[yellowhasthechest]

We don't add random days, either.

[meteorstorm]

One day every four years isn't the most random it could be.

[yellowhasthechest]

It's still annoying.

[meteorstorm]

I never said it wasn't.

[yellowhasthechest]

And anyway, your seasons are too short, too. They keep sneaking up on me.

[meteorstorm]

They do have a way of doing that, yes.

[yellowhasthechest]

Even to you?

[meteorstorm]

Even to us.

[yellowhasthechest]

[Just laughs.]

This is the weirdest place. Of course, it would be, you're out in the middle of nowhere.

[meteorstorm]

This place basically is the middle of nowhere.

[yellowhasthechest]

I meant Earth in general.

I dunno if you know this, but your galaxy doesn't have a whole lot of neighbors.

[meteorstorm]

Our space program hasn't gotten out that far.
