<font size="+1">Thank you for your message. We here at the
Thalesian Calendar Development Cooperative will assist you as well
as we are able during the transition from the ancient, antiquated,
article of faith known as the Gregorian calendar to the modern,
meritorious, mathematically material calendar I named the
Thalesian calendar.<br>
<br>
Unlike other calendars which have some indeterminate beginning
based on some cultural or religious artifice, the Thalesian
calendar has a precisely calculable beginning determined by the
relation of the astronomical bodies involved in the first solar
eclipse predicted by a human, Thales of Miletus. This grants the
Thalesian calendar the unique property of not having a basis in
superstition, historical accident, or authoritarian arbitrariness.<br>
<br>
Using the Gregorian calendar, the date of that eclipse was 25 May
585 BCE. Using any of the multitude of other calendars, the date
is something else.<br>
<br>
Using the Thalesian calendar, the date and time of the exact
center of the eclipse is exactly midnight of the first day of the
first month of the first year, Year 0, of the Thalesian calendar.
Because the Gregorian calendar does not have a Year 0, and the
Thalesian calendar does have a Year 0, the Thalesian calendar is
near the transition from the current year of 2599 to the year
2600. (585 - 1 + 2016 = 2600)<br>
<br>
So, with apologizes for any inconveniences caused by your
inability to get to the presently antiquated Gregorian month of
May, the Thalesian calendar development team will create a new set
of month names that will obviate your need to achieve the month of
May, since under the Thalesian calendar, there will not be any
such month. Future communications will appear as development
continues. Comments and suggestions are welcome, though developer
response time is limited.<br>

So it's April Fool's today for you all over again?
You're in an endless loop. Maybe watch the movie

of it.<br class="">
