I would have never guessed there were 31 days in a month, untill I saw it on the message board. More info on why there are 31 days would be nice to know. I know there were people back in the preroman/anciant Greece/semi Egyptian time when they started the whole calender thingie, but I'd like more detailed info like, names, dates, places, and such and such.

I think it's simply because "they" didn't want any non-31-day month to be directly before or after another non-31-day month so since June is 30 days, July couldn't be.
30 days hath Septober, April, June, and no wonder. All the rest have peanut butter, all except my dear grandmother. She had a little red tricycle... I stole it!Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
