Seven days is the wrong length for a week, because you can't divide it evenly. Six days would make a better week, but if the week were six days long, this post would be a week after the last one, so I'd better stick with seven days for now. And, since this post should be about something other than how long it's been since my last one, how about this:
Six day weeks don't divide evenly into 365 days, which is 60 time 6, plus 5. So why not just have 360 day years? It would mean the months wouldn't stay synchronized with the seasons, but so what? The Muslims have a 354-day year and they manage all right.
So, we have 12 months of 30 days each, 5 six-day weeks. Two days off on the weekends, four days on. That's about 10 extra days off a year, another bonus.
Six-day weeks for the win! And the post is a week late after all.
