God is a goof

God is a goof
Hey I was wondering if anyone else here has a problem with this issue.

For as long as our history has been recorded we have been under the religious authority of keeping a 7 day week.

Please vote if you would be willing to be active in the removal of the 7th day and active in promoting a 6 day cycle global standard.

A six day cycle would be much less complicated with our current understanding of planetary rotation and star orbit.

Also, keeping 2 days of rest each cycle would make the weak week a little easier to handle on people and give us an increase of about 4.4% free time over the course of a year.

Certainly not. WTF would I do on Sunday? I hate football and won't go near a fucking church.

Cut out one of the days on my weekend? Are you fucking crazy?

Interesting idea, but would that throw off the seasons and cause other weird things?

Not cut it out, increase it. Now we have 2 out 7 days as weekends. Then we'll have 2 out of 6 days as weekends. Your weekends have just increased by almost 5%.

Someone had better tell the Moon what we've got in mind. Otherwise it's going to carry on having a twenty-eight day orbital cycle (give or take) and throw all the months out.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Hmmm. I was more thinking along the lines of: Let's have a 3 day weekend. Two days are just not enough.

Not sure how the title of the post translates to the content. Can someone help?

With you on the church part, but I need my NFL, gotta have something stupid to yell at. Plus it gives me an excuse to drink beer.

Your guess is as good as anyone else's.

How did this dude get banned after only 3 posts? I read the posts and they didn't strike me as ban-worthy. This thread was stupid, but I didn't think it was worth getting banned over! lol.
