Leap years piss me off.
Think about it. If there was no February 29th this year, I wouldn’t have had to do ANY highlight videos for last night’s slate of games. Instead, I had to make 21 videos. All because the moron Romans (or was it the Greeks?) invented a stupid calendar that doesn’t even match reality. It comes close, but it doesn’t match. That’s why we have to stick an extra day in there every four years.
Actually, now that I think about it, I think it’s the Catholic’s fault. The CATHOLICS are the ones to blame for me having to make 21 highlight videos. Can we have a Vatican III where we toss the old calendar into the trash and come up with a new calendar where the months actually match the cycles of the moon exactly? Or just do away with the concept of years, months, and days altogether, and instead have a single flowing timeline that is not constrained by the vain time-denominations of man.
The only problem then is that, absent the concept of “minutes”, we would have no idea when to stop a basketball game once it’s started. Wilt’s record would be destroyed. Even somebody like Daniel Gafford could destroy it if the game just went on until one of the refs said “I think this has gone on for long enough”.
