If there are 365 days in a year, and a moon lasts 28 days, wouldn't there have to be 13 moons a year? And an international holiday for the day left over?
Absolutely so, Hyo -- The Hebrew calendar is a lunar calendar in which each month lasts 28 days. The year is something like 354 days long. Every "several" years a leap month is added in order to keep that calendar in proximity with the secular calendar. By "several," I mean that the schedule for adding a leap month is a bit more complex, than a Feb. 29 leap day. The extra moth occurs in spring, and is called "Adar B," as though we might say "March B" (following March). So -- to frame this as a question, as Paul Harvey may have said, and now, do you know the rest of the story? (Spectra steps behind the chicken-wire fence, so as to avoid the air-borne, Salmonella'd tomatoes) :brick:
The sweater that Aunt Martha S. knitted in jail ? ( rubs hands together in anticipation -- oh boy, here's another topic to open the floodgates! )
Can I help it if she used her cell mate Bertha as a model and the sweater just wouldn't fit? (HEE! Good one Steve!)
Can Steve & Janis organize a free concert at Echo Beach, featuring Martha & the Muffins, for the Prius Posse (shown below)? :hippie::mullet::alien::tongue1::clap2::spy::evil::rockon:
