They should make ever month 28 days and add the taken away days to December so we have a longer vacation period between Christmas and New Year's - ty97 Jan 28, 13:07
February is the worst, saddest, *coldest* most miserable month so they let it be the shortest -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 28, 13:07
Interestingly, some of those variances are because the Roman Emperors of the given names (Julius, Augustus) wanted their months to be longest -- nm - oblique Jan 28, 13:00

- dumber than leaving one month with 28 days while so many have 31? hardly -- nm - mr. plow Jan 28, 13:01 7

  - Why must all months conform to your limited view? -- nm - Spawn Jan 28, 13:02 5
    - Dammit Mr Plow! Why must you force your trigintanormative views on all of us?! You're part of the problem! -- nm - Ender Jan 28, 13:05
    - why stop at 28? why not just make February one day long and June 57? -- nm - mr. plow Jan 28, 13:03 3
      - No, February gets to be the outlier. - Spawn Jan 28, 13:04 2
        
        there's no need for an outlier when there are already plenty of spare days to go around from the other months -- nm - mr. plow Jan 28, 13:06 1
        
        Didn't you read my IM!?! -- nm - Spawn Jan 28, 13:08
