Years suck

Years are pretty much the worst thing ever. They are just one day off being perfect. Let's analyze:
     
        1. The amount of days in a month changes from month to month.
         
        2. There aren't exactly 52 weeks; 52 1/7 weeks in fact.
         
        3. There are 4 seasons, but 365 isn't divisible by 4, so the number of days in each season isn't even.

        4. 365 is 73 x 5
              That means, to have an even amount of days in each month, you'd have to have either 73 months with 5 days, of 5 months with 73 days. Both suck.
         
        5. 364 is 2^2 x 7 x 13
              Which would mean 52 weeks of 7 days, 13 months of 28 days, and 4 seasons of 13 weeks. Yes, you have an extra day left over, but how hard is that to squeeze in? Just add it to the end of the year or something. Even with that day left over, this system is still much neater than it is now.









Bottom note: I'm thinking of calling this a chasm. No specific reason, I just enjoy the word. Not absolutely set on it, yet. We'll see.
