Sometimes we come across a random comment and we find it is the most important, urgent, and/or funny thing in the world. Then we forget about it and we move on to the next post. Here is your chance to salvage those.

    Alright, hear me out. We go with the 10 months of 35 days and a special month of 15 days, but the 15 days is just one giant celebration. Just 15 days of nothing but arts and crafts and hanging out with friends. (For Context)

    Enter the Igbo calendar, a balanced calendar without the particular complications of the Western Julian/Gregorian calendars.

    The calendar has 13 months in a year (Afo), 7 weeks in a month (Onwa), and 4 days of Igbo market days (Afor, Nkwo, Eke, and Orie) in a week (Izu) plus an extra day at the end of the year, in the last month.

    I was about to post about it, as a suggested replacement for the POSIX time standard, now I have to think that our imaginary month off is at stake.
