Canada to move to METRIC time
 
It's coming... Canada will be moving to a 25 hour clock on February 29th, 2008 (which is the next leap year day from the old Gregorian calendar).

Quote:
The new Metric calendar is designed to keep the vernal equinox on or close to March 21, so that the date of Easter (celebrated on the Sunday after the 14th day of the Moon that falls on or after 21 March) remains correct with respect to the vernal equinox.
The vernal equinox year is currently about 365.242375 days long.
The Metric calendar will eliminate the Gregorian leap year rule as it will naturally give an average year length of 365 days.
This difference of a little over 0.0001 days means that in around 8,000 years, the calendar will be about one day behind where it should be. (A strong difference from the current system.) But in 8,000 years' time the length of the vernal equinox year will have changed by an amount we can't accurately predict, which makes this change very logical.
So now, does this mean I'm going to live to be 100? Or 95?
Depending on what calendar I'm using.

Hmm, so let me get this straight. No more leap year? So, my daughter who was born on leap year in 2004, will only ever have one real birthday (next leapyear) and then never again? Damn, she's gunna be pissed, stuck at 1 forever, no voting, drinking, driving, anything.

That broke me up. One of the things my mother was always most grateful for was that she was born March 31st...and hence avoided having an April Fool's Day birthday. :)

My cousin was born on April 1st as well. She's not bothered by it at all though.
