The end of Halloween and Friday the 13th?

"A radical new calendar proposal promises to eliminate leap years and time zones, and, according to the professors who designed it, save you $575 every year. Steve Hanke and Dick Henry, professors at Johns Hopkins University, tout their calendar as "very close to perfect," and argued that the current system is "costing us" time and money.

The Hanke-Henry Permanent Calendar would set all birthdays and holidays to the same day each year – likely bad news for those whose special days fall on a Monday or Tuesday. October 31, when many celebrate Halloween, would be eliminated altogether along with every "Friday the 13th."
