Funny thing is the old Icelandic Calendar used to have a month called "Gormán-uður" basically "Gormonth".
As a person living in Japan where they change the name and the numbering of the years with every new emperor, I guess my question is, when do we start using your system?
I know this was done as a joke but I think there is a lot of truth to this.
Everything would be the same date wise.
Councils charge you rent by the week and there are 13 x 4 week segments to the year.
If you were paid monthly on the same date that would make paying bills a lot easier, no more 5 week months.
Personally, I believe this should become reality.
It aligns with the moon cycles too. The laughing and the way they present this as comedy is creepy af.
Y'all need to look up the Gregorian calendar and why they did what they did
@thizmferiznotreal not really, the moon cycle is something like 29 days, 44 mins and2.9 seconds so it'd misalign straight away but ah well
A 13-month 364-day calendar is definitely more logical. I'm almost surprised this system was never adapted because the planetary elite are obsessed with numerology and prime numbers like 7 (days of the week), 13 (Friday the 13th), and 19 (a typical advertised dimension of the family idiot box in decades past)!

Please let's adopt this calendar immediately. It would be weird for a couple of years but like an update for your phone you'd eventually get used to it and wonder how you used that old Callander with its chaotic structure for so long. This is absolutely brilliant.
In fact, during the time of the Romans, the year started on March 1st. This is also the reason why February is the shortest month (it was the last) and why October - December got their name.
Look at any Zodiac calendar, the year always starts at Aries, this is why October is 8th month from Aries sign
March 25th was New Year's day until the Gregorian Calendar was adopted.
This is actually very elegant and makes a lot of sense. It would be fantastic during leap year: 4 straight day off - the two weekends and the two intermissions!
For some of us.
There’s already a thirteenth sign, astrologers just ignored it because of the superstitions surrounding thirteen.
13 is claimed to be an unlucky number by a lot of people. In reality, no numbers are luxky or unlucky.
It’s claimed unlucky so the population want to stick to the fake 12 months system.
In number theory there is a such thing as lucky numbers.
13 is one of them.
13 must be unlucky for the evil ones
Ophiuchus ⛎ The 13th sign
I wish we could implement this correct calendar.
There’s a website that sells the correct calendars 😉
@@daisyy42o where?
Oh yes, which website?
Any calendar that starts on Sunday instead of Monday is just as flawed as every dumb calendar that came before it. Weeks start on Mondays, there for the monthS MUST start on Mondays.
Orthodox follows this calendar. Wished we went back to it and removed April Fool's day to Jesus' bday. >.>;
What about the children that are born on "intermission"? How do they keep track of their birthdays?
It could be 0/0/year for the regular one, and 0/1/year for the leap year. That way they can have a numerical birthdate for official documents that align with everyone else's.
1/0/year
With calendars. The same way people born on Feb 29th do. AND ALSO the same way everyone else does.
What happens on the intermission stays in the intermission, probably they'll be suppressed 😅
It washes the dish and gets back in the basement or it gets the rod again
"Nail easter down" 🥵
I was hoping someone else caught that! 😂😂 best part of the bit because it was soooo subtle lol
Im totally on board with this!! 🤣 this works on so many levels
Yeah ive actually thought about this too. Intermission would be hella hype
If I'm ever gonna become a politician, I'm so gonna introduce this.
Best way to introduce a better system is with humor. I'm still waiting for the duodecimal Chappelle Special.
That was so well done!
Still 13 months are in a year, 6 months have 3 extra days that's 3X6 =18 days plus another 5 months have extra two days that is 2X5 =10, 10+18= 28. The 13th month had its days divided into each of the months except February. Because February is the month before the first month. That is March.
If someone born on March 29......where would it be on a 13 month calendar?
Brilliant - I worked out this exact solution 13 months x 4 weeks of 7 days, plus an Extra Day and leap year's Extra-Extra Day.
I would prefer the new year to start after the winter solstice, (shortest day) usually the 21st December (22nd in leap year).
So the next day could be the extra day, maybe call that Day Zero, (in a leap year have a Day Zero plus a Bonus Day).
With the new year's 1st month starting the very next day - but keep the order of month names as at present, to limit confusion.
Any extra days will each cause a single jump backwards in day name for the first day of the new year, compared to previous year, then stays consistent every month for that whole year, eg 1st January and 1st February etc will be same day name eg a Monday.
If someone born on March 29......where would it be on a 13 month calendar?
"In the new system we'll "nail" easter down." Wow! Lol he went there.
God gave us the map to the calender on one of the longest living creatures on earth. The turtle's back. It has 13 sections and there is other stuff I can't remember all of what I learned except sometime near 400 AD Rome changed the calender to suit themselves and shortly thereafter Rome fell apart...
Rome did not collapse until 476 A.D. Octavius Caeser died in 14 A.D. There is at least 450 years difference between these two events. That is a long time. The American empire will be lucky if it makes 250 years.
@@wesbaumguardner8829 450 years is pretty short in the grand scheme of things, and Rome hasn't come back since!
@@TrustingTroller Considering the average lifespan of an empire is only about 250 years, I would say you are incorrect in this matter.
I did the math and, since I was born on a leap year, my birthday in the new month system would be the 1st of Sextilis.
I believe that naming that month Sextember would be a tiny bit more practical)
Let me add something here. For the sake of consistency they should be Quintember and Sextember))
There used to be 13 months. 13 constellations.
What a brilliant presentation 🎉❤
Isn't easter on the full moon on or after the vernal equinox? This calendar won't nail it down, since lunar calendar will keep getting out of sync with this.
Just like ALL CURRENT CALENDARS! Also, who cares about some dumb makeup supernatural bullshit?
No cos the lunar cycle is also 28 days
Lmfao Gormanuary is gold
I see a small problem with that approach. 13 is prime so we can't have half a year, a third of a year or a fourth of a year.
I agree that 13*28 is closer to the real 365 days/year but the advantages of having a 360 days/year with 5 or 6 intermision days.
360 days/year would give us 6 days/week, 6 weeks/month and 10 months/year with 1 intermision day every 2 months.
as a plus, with this calendar I propose, we have 6 days/week (you work 4 days and take a 2 days weekend)
Love it! 😂🩵🌻
You've sort of got the idea, our calendar is wrong and there should be 13 months that track the moon.
The moon and days don't align
@GodwynDi arent the phases of the moon 28 days apart? I feel that would track INCREDIBLY.
@JamesCPotter13 29.5 so it's close but then starts to fall apart over time. Unless you have an extra day every other month...
this man should explain why the week should be 8 days long rather than 7
But then it doesn't fit neatly into 28 day months anymore
people laugh but it makes total sense
That's the only way it can be accepted.
This is just as brilliant as funny!
Have you considered the seasons? How would they be affected?
I dont think they would be. The year would be starting in Spring, with the new growth. Not divided midwinter.
Unless you're talking about the 3 months per season rule, which frankly doesnt work out that way in many places.
I live in SoCal and it's Not as Hot, Hotter, Why am I Boiling?, Hot.
Adam Wexlar advocates using March 22nd as New Years Day as it is the start of Spring
March 19, 20, or 21 every year
@eljay5009Logical
So when does April first actually start? Is it spring equinox? Or something else
That sounds like a good choice!
Brilliant
So you'd propose March 1st would be used to old-January 1st? Or do we move new year celebration to March and leave the months were they are in terms of the seasons?
Will Christmas still be in winter?
Christmas is only in winter for people living north of the equator.
December is summer in New Zealand!
LET'S DO IT!!
I actually like it! Makes more sense than the current calendar. Tough I will miss having birthdays in January.
Cool ideas will pop up from time to time. The founder of Kodak Eastman spent a lot of time to make the world adopt this type of calendar around 100 years ago. Maybe it is an idea whose time has come? It would make things a little more coherent.
Well Nailed 😂
What day of the week really matters when celebrating your birthday. everyone born on Fridays and Saturdays would be able to celebrate easier on the actual day whereas everyone else would have to take a day off work and move their party to the weekend.
I’d like to know when taking off work on your birthday became a normal thing. Probably the 90’s.
Would the 13th month that got added go in between june & july
In the International Fixed Calendar, the 13th month (Sol, reference to Solstice, the sun) will be indeed between June and July.
Month 13 would be between December and January
@@tommybakes5972it’s called Sol and it’s in between June & July. 2
The Essenes had a calendar like this.
I think for this reason God said don't bother with astrology.
I kinda dig it, but there's a downside to it. Imagine having your birthdays always on a monday
Everyone is owed a extra month's wages!
We'd also have to pay an extra month of bills
Yearly salary / 13
Done
The Bible says they changed time and times.
Exactly!!! Who are these wicked ppl that steal, kill, and destroy? Hmmm...Yah is revealing them.
Yes the Roman Catholic church did that.
My old birthday: Oct 1
My new one: Dec 22
🔥🔥 Ethiopian Calendar 🇪🇹 🔥🔥
The Land of 13 Months of Sunshine
13 Months = ( 12 x 30 Days) + (1 x 5 Days/ 6 Days every 4 yrs)
Enoch ❤
13th sign is ophiacus
Your funny fair play ;) and shared 👏 🤣 👍 👌
My birthday will remain in the 5th Month from 13th May to 21st Quintillis, which will always be a Saturday
Originally....your birthday should fall on the same day each year
28 day cycle for females....
And the lunar cycle is a 28 day cycle
The first day of the new year should actually be the day after the winter solstice when the days start to get longer. Which would also be Christmas. Christmas was originally a celebration of the "Suns return" or "christ's return".
Nothing new under the sun. He got only one important thing wrong: the new year naturally needs to start at spring equinox, so yoh cannot count the dys like he did.
How so?
Sol is 13th month !!!!!! But well done its not bad job
If someone born on March 29......where would it be on a 13 month calendar?
How about instead of intermission we call it purge?
Not Comedy All facts
a factcom
This dude rocks
What about leap years? Do we just have a double intermission?
Yes
How do you think we deal with them now? Same.
He said that
We should do this.
I like this.
My Agikuyu culture have 6 months,IN KENYA, PLANTING SEASONS, BASICALLY ENOUGH,
Moon Calendar... 🌙 🌚 perfect.
I was wonedering when we got back to where we were.
Now what about the decimal clock?
1 day = 10 decidays (or Gorm-hours)
1 deciday = 10 centidays (or Gorm-minutes)
1 centiday = 10 millidays (or Gorm-seconds)
1 milliday = 10 Gorm-thirds
1 Gorm-third = 10 Gorm-fourths
1 Gorm-fourth = 10 microdays (or Gorm-fifths)
etc...
Actually, moving to 12-based system for calculations and maths makes more sence. Why? Because 12 has a lot of ways to be divided. 10 a bit awkward, it can't be beautifully divided by 3 or 4. And 12 is divided by 1, 2, 3, 4, 6. Much more convenient in day to day life. It will need adding two more digits though.
national treasure
So my birthday would be in Sextilis on the 9th day, which will always be a Monday 😐. Well at least it's not in Quintilis
No birthday,you were just born.
I believe that'd be Quintember and Sextember in that system to look natural)
@@PogodinPavel Who are you?
genius!
What happens to Sakhalin on the 31 of Oct?
Who cares?
Thanks. Forgot how good Dave Gorman is. Gave up on tv years ago.will never fund bbc again.
Hmm, moon has a 28 day cycle, so that calendar would give you the ability to look at the moon and know which day of the month it is. :)
Proper moonphase on watches is 29 1/2 days, not 28
Makes sense to me .
28 days don't stay in line with the new moons.
Not a single day in my life I cared about moon phase.
This actually makes sense, and as all the crazy people have shown us in the last couple of years it doesn't take much to get movements going, only this would be a useful one.
The Simpsons already named the 13th month. It's called Smarch. 😅😅😅😅
365 days /13 months = 28.07 days
If someone born on March 29......where would it be on a 13 month calendar?
This is scriptural. Well played.
The numbers for a month still don't make sense because April used to be the beginning of the year hence why we call April 1st April Fools Day because people were still doing the beginning of the year in April.
France tried to get rid of it at some point, we ended up with something called the "calendrier révolutionnaire". Try looking at that now XD
Nail easter down XD
your birthday would still be the 2nd of march, and the birthday of someone born the 29th of march would be the first of april and so on
What about people born on a leap year, whats their new birthday
March 1st day 60 or 61 in a leap year.
So Saturday birthday people are happy forever and everyone else gets the short end? No thanks lol
is that 13 rent payments, Electric bill payments, car payments, ect, If the government could make us pay more taxes by adding a month they would.
actually would be less stressful for people as well.
😂
@eljay5009Correct, but this wouldn't stop landlords, financial institutions or governments from increasing the yearly amount so that you would continue to pay the same amount monthly in a 12th month vs a 13th month calendar. They'd find some way to get extra money out of their customers.
In fact, going to a 13th month calendar could have a great impact on inflation and many other financial related processes. It just gives entities to many loopholes to be greedy.
Easter, since it follows the moon’s cycles - 13 moons through the year - would naturally adhere to the new calendar! Ramadan too!
Main difference being, with the rest of the world the week begins on monday not sunday, so with this system you are never ever going to get a friday the 13th
Dave Gorman's always funny. 👍👍👍👌👌👌🤣🤣🤣
He named the thirteenth month Gormanuary
@@Sonic12LexiHey
Idea: the tiny calendar. The whole calendar is just the 7 days of the week. Let's say you are planning a wedding, so you tell all of the guests that the wedding will be three days long, and it will happen on a future Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. So the guests write that on their tiny calendars, while making their own future plans for the other 4 days in the meantime. Eventually the wedding plans are finished, so you tell the guests, and they go to their tiny calendars and move the future wedding dates onto the current week. Also, since it would be bizarre and rude to give the guests less than four days notice, and this would be equally true of most future plans, their plans for the current week would be mostly unaffected during this whole process.
This is silly just use the original calendar you confusing bastard
That sounds too complicated
@@Demonologist013 it's actually really simple, you just use a calendar of 7 days instead of 365, most of my comment is just an explanation for why that could still work
@@holdingpattern245 It wouldn't work at all
@@Demonologist013 people think it wouldn't work because they think there's a benefit to scheduling things on exact dates like that, but there isn't
Augustus Octavian
he described the biblical calendar… until he added a 13th month.
There is no such thing as a biblical calendar. The name of the month was made up.
The truly enlightened ones know exactly why….. iykyk
New Year’s Day used to be April 1st. April FOOLS day
The premise of this entire thing is incorrect. Juli and June were not inserted in the middle. They simply added names to months previously just known by their number. The problem was that winter wasn't initially included in the calendar because there was no farming or whatever during winter. Later on they decided the calendar should cover the entire year including winter so they had to chuck a couple of months onto the beginning of the year (and I suppose to the end as well I don't remember the details)
Edit: I absolutely love the idea of the new calendar tho. I've come up with this exact system myself along with some others just for fun and this is by far the best one. Too bad we can't fit the lunar month into it tho as it doesn't line up with the year 🤷
12 months because of money. If a worker is paid a salary 11 months are 30 and 31 days. 4 months are 30 days. 7 months are 31 days. You work longer for the same pay. It was always a financial decision deep down and those with money make the decisions and ultimately to benefit themselves. 😂
This is the only thing that makes sense to me..
Just use the Ethiopian calendar, 30 days for 12 months and the 13th month have 5 days and 6 days every 4 years
best make 1st a monday in all months
Jesus plus 12 deciples equal 13.
We are working a month for nothing.
Is it just me or is this actually genius? 🤔
