because I never realized that would work. It was easier to think about how close 365 is to the round number 360 which was a nice round ration for 30. 13 28day months are amazing and we could still go with 7 day weeks and have all the days line up perfectly. Every monday is the 1st, 8th, 15th, and 23rd of every month. the 30 day thing I figure we go to a 6 day week. I love it. Of course idiots will get all obsesive about a 13th month.

    Except for leap years, February is the perfect month, since it’s exactly four weeks. This year it’s doubly perfect (if you believe the week starts with Sunday) because it makes a neat little rectangle on the calendar.

    I believe strongly in inclusion and don't feel we should discriminate against February for having less days. Difference adds value, and i for one warmly embrace February as part of the year

    My best sleuthing has failed to find any information on this artifact, and therefore I must conclude that it is some murky park of the Furchester family or hotel history. I'd like to think that it's all that remains of some nefarious agent of a wicked regieme, who made the mistake of entering the premises. Cookie Monster has had to be restrained from eating a guest on at least one occasion, and if the spy looked a bit too cookieish...

    Haha, I had no idea what this prop (or character?) was but it looked like a false mustache in a frame or noticeboard, and I was scrambling for extra observations to add credence to the conspiracy.

    Ah, I can see you do not watch enough CBeebies. The image in the OP is, of course, the reception desk of the illustrious (half star) Furchester Hotel. The one you refer to as "Kaiser Wilhelm" is, in fact, Isabell, because she Is A Bell (high quality kids humour there). The disguise kit is well enough disguised that I can't spot it.

    Thanks for the chuckle, I was genuinely concerned I'd missed something there!
