Easy to make that mistake but this thread has nothing to do with perpetual motion. gAr is speaking about a calendar.
]]>There's some info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_year
Looks like it's not decided yet.
After all, the orbit won't be the same always!
This calendar will lose a day or so every 3000 or so years. There is an adjustment on the leap years that will only lose a day in 44 000 years.
]]>Would there be any further correction, say after 10000's of years.
The leap year adjustments are made because the time for the Earth to orbit the Sun is not an exact number of days.
Adding an extra day every fourth year is to avoid precession of the seasons.
The fourth century adjustment is to correct because it's not 365.25 days = 1 year either.
There must be a time in the far distant future when even those two adjustments aren't enough. Could google it or I'll work it out if you want. Might take a while though.

]]>See you in a bit.
You would think with a whole race of bloated beer drinkers that they would not have to advertise. My father used to say instead of spending millions on garbage advertising why don't they lower price?
Nope, guys who went to Harvard, and have 824 degrees in economics are powerless to figure out how to keep prices down. Just pass it on to the consumer, yep that will work. Do you need a Harvard education for that?
]]>Yes, so true!
Here it's less of beer and more of washing powder, free pen with soap (what a combination!), etc.
In the browsers, we can atleast block the Ads with ad-blockers, we control what we like, that's what fascinates me!
Anyway, it's late here. See you tomorrow!
]]>I can not take the commercials. Everybody is always drinking beer.
]]>Yes.
Me too. I have secluded myself from television.
They are supposed have some sort of journalistic responsibility to report the truth. You know I never listen to the news anymore. I go to the internet. I would rather listen to some crazy person whom at least believes he is speaking the truth than to listen to those who lie on a daily basis.
]]>I do not know about the media elsewhere but over here they are awful. Twice I was involved in a newsworthy event. Both times I picked up the newspapers the next day. In both cases they did not get any part of the story correct. It was as if they were never there but I knew they were, they interviewed me.
