Uh, hell no. There should be ten months a year, ten days in a month, and ten hours in a day, ten minutes in an hour... and we should all use artificial lighting with scheduled blackout blinds to make the daylight hours line up. Putting everyone in the world on the one true timezone.

Today is Jan 1, 2312 . Tomorrow is Jan 1, 2313. My birthday is Jan 1 every 365 years for 1,095 years starting on year 2493, then Jan 1 366 years later. After that, repeat the thing.
