Description

The Discordian calendar, as described on page 34 in the fourth edition of Principia Discordia.

Chaotic enough, it's quite simpler then the Gregorian calendar; weeks are 5 days, and evens up on a year. Months are 73 days.

The leap day is inserted at the 60th day of the first month (Chaos), giving the first month 74 days. The description of the calendar is a "perpetual date converter from the gregorian to the POEE calendar", so the leap years are the same as the gregorians.

The Principia calls months "seasons", but for simplicity I call them months in this calendar.

If anyone know more about how to treat the leap day - now it is inserted in the month and week where it lands, rather then being separated from month and weeks, I'm interested to know.

- Mirar, Pope of POEE.
