Dear Madam or Sir!
May I direct your attention to the work of Johan Heinrich von Mädler.
Please note the Umlaut, it is important in finding his work.
Under Windows, you can type «ALT+0228» to get «U+00E4». If you have
AllChars for Windows, this will be easier: In Emacs lingo, type «C " a»,
e.g., use the CTRL key as a prefix like ESC instead as a modifier like
SHIFT as you are used to.
He suggested the Czar a patch for the Julian Calendar in 1864 that is even
more exact than the Gregorian Patch.
This is now largely forgotten.
The idea is to drop a leap year every 128 years instead of the Gregorian
rule of dropping three within four centuries.
It fits nicely into the digital age as well.
And it is a perfect match for the un-discordian regularity of the
Discordian Calendar.
Date: 2009-11-20, ddate: Prickle-Prickle, 32nd Aftermath, YOLD 3175,
ISO-like: Prickle-Prickle, YOLD 3175-5-32.
Kind regards

Umm, actually when I type it without the umlaut I seem to be able to find his stuff just fine. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=johan+heinrich+von+madler&aq=f&oq=&aqi= (http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g213/05136/fd1e3fc3.jpg)

No, no, Nigel, he's a REALLY REALLY REAL DISCORDIAN FOR REALNESS, and he's going to show us all how it's done.
It seems Old Skool.
We should give the spag a modicum of respect.
...
Ok, now that we've gotten past the moment, DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE WITH YOUR TIME!
I find it really funny that so many Discordians use the Discordian calendar.

I didn't know it actually existed. I thought people just made up dates.
Like today is "Goatfelcher 4th".
I would approve of that more highly.
Not that anyone should necessarily care what I do or don't approve of.

Well, it just makes sense, right? No need to keep track of a made-up calendar, plus you get to vent a little bile.
Anything that relieves bile build up is a plus.
I'm convinced, I'm just going to start making up names.
