Modern timekeeping really is a ridiculous and complicated system, with highlights such as:

  • relativity drift
  • crooked international date line
  • October should be the 8th month
  • time zone sovereignty disputes
  • the superstition of Numa Pompilius
  • leap seconds
  • Jesus’ birthday change
