What is the significance behind our 12 months?  Why twelve and not,
say, four encompassing the four seasons?  Why are they named the way
they are?  How was the distribution of days decided upon?  What are
some other systems in the world?  I hope that this is of general
interest and that responses may be posted to net.follow.up and/or
net.misc.
