October

This month has a latin name, meaning the '8:th month'. Historically the year begun at the vernal equinox. The year in the russian orthodox calender had 365,25 days, which is the reason the 'october revolution' actually happened in november. Of all metrological mess, chronology is the worst. Time keeping differs from culture to culture, and from one country to another. The day begins at noon, midnight, sunrise or sunset, all depending on culture. Adding to that the silly DST the time keeping is most confusing. The "standard pacific time + 1 hr, except for native americans" is the most ridiculous concept. USA likes registering ethnicity. If your grandmother is native american and your grandfather is a jew, then you should not practise 'daylight saving time', but if you're black and your grandmother is hispanic, then you should apply it.
