    1. Blame the guy who invented June and July (had to push October and December 2 months to make room)

    2. You’ll have to do some digging for that one. They’re long gone. Probably laughing the whole way.

      Same goes for NOVember being the 11th month (should be the 9th) and SEPTember being the 9th (should be the 7th)

    4. I wonder how many people actually know the gold that is the origin of this GIF. I for one can only recommend these videos.

    5. Wait until you realize if we had 13 months they would all be 28 days long, with Monday always being the 1st, and every day of the week lining up after that. There would be 1 left over day of the year which could be a worldwide new year’s day.

      Be careful for what you WISH FOR! OOOHOOHOHOHOHOOOOO *Downpitches* ***OOOHOOHOHOHOOOOOOO***

    7. Don’t blame Julius and Augustus. January and February were the months that were added and messed things up. Julius and Augustus got there months by co-opting quintiles and sextilis.

    8. It’s because the year used to start in March rather than January back in the Roman empire

      I hate that almost all the comments are wrong, yes the Romans did add two more months, but it was January and February, not July and August(these were just renaming other months). They were also originally stuck on at the end making February the last month of the year. The change in which month was first came way later.

      What if I told you that 13*28 is 364 and that you’ve been robbed a month’s salary by this BS “month is 28-31 days”.

      Samee for sept, I am born on 7th sept and is so annoying that sept is 9th month lol😂

    12. May and June used to be called Quintillis and Sextillis in the old roman calendar before July and August were added to the calendar. September October November and December were the seventh eighth ninth and tenth months at that time when they were named.

    13. To people saying blame the romans, no they didn’t invent 2 new months, just renamed 2 existing ones after Julius and Augustus

      The actual reason is that the start of the year just sort of shifted, beforehand March was the first month of the year which works since it was also the start of spring

      Well in Chinese translation we just call it month one, month two… Month 12 easy peasy no confusion.

      More specifically we put number first so it’s one month, two month, …, twelve month

    15. Tell me you know nothing about history without telling me. They WERE the 8th and 10th months. And November (Novem is 9 in Latin) was the 9th month. July was inserted by Julius Caesar and August was inserted by Augustus? Which threw it all off.
