Subject: Hey Kaori, it's interesting that in Japan April is still used as a year beginning! I've always wondered why our fiscal year starts in October. Well, as one of the philosophers said, time isn't real, anyway. It's just a concept! I can do military time with you, where the phrase "0'dark thirty" actually makes sense. ;-)

In reply to: Kaori 's message, "OMG!! I used to use Julian calender in Air Force! I heard that Roman(or Greek) new year was February, so October is 10th month instead of 8th.(Oct is prefix of 8, as you know) In Japan, most school and business start from April still. We use Gregorian most of time, but also use Lunar calender for old traditional celemonies. I juggled 4 calenders once. Not to mention millitary time..... 16:00 sharp, surge!! Well, thank you for the info, Loraine!" on 04/ 2/04 22:37
