Whyyy

Actually, this particular fuck up goes much further back, it's attributed to Numa Pompilius (although this is back in the times of legend, so who knows in reality). Before then the year began in march and had 10 months, ending in December and matching the position in the year for November, October and September (and Quintilis and Sextilis as July and August were before they got renamed).

Even then, the newly added Ianuarius and Februarius were originally put at the end of the year. I don't think we really know who decided to shift new year or when it happened.

Also fun fact, this is why February is the shortest month: because it used to be the end. So after the other months got their days, February just soaked up what was left.
Which makes it pretty bizarre to now be the second month which is the shortest and the only month that varies in length.

Understandable misunderstanding but the naming is just a coincidence - those months were named after Septimus, Octovius, Novembius, and Decimus

Yeah, Decimus was named after this guy:

Also Septimus was named after the Harry Potter guy. It's the whole reason they banned time turners.

They did it to confuse the Vikings

What's with all this ice in Greenland?
- Don’t you think it’s weird there’s no satellite imagery inside the interior of Greenland online?
  What’s the deal with that

This was designed. Not organic.

Just do: Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, etc...

Why is English so weird lmao

No worries, Dave Gorman fixed it for us.

Now I'm wondering when Trump is going to rename a month
Beat me to it. He has his whole show on YouTube. Excellent comedian.
Getting sick and tired of mofos stealing my ideas >:(
