October is the eighth month, kinda. I can see it. Of course the name is a leftover consequence of forgotten clashes of civilizations, but I see a connection to the way we think of these things today.
Basically, we people can only count to ten, since we've got ten fingers in front of us. And, the year really does end around the end of December; even if it's really January 3 or 2nd or whatever the Sunday along in there happens to show up.
So that means that if this is October, as in 8, that fits in with the whole year being two months longer than it is now- 10, 12... they're both completions, but 10 probably wins the contest so since we've got 2 months left, it makes sense.
My blog is a little over 9 months old.
Ah, my baby.
