Changing of the year
The Jews have their calender, Chinese have theirs, do the Muslims have their own calender?
Do all of the different calenders start their year on the same day?

The Muslims have the most worthless calendar of all - the lunar calendar. It starts at a different time and because it varies compared to an Earth Solar year the lunar calendar lopes along at odds with the seasons. The earliest practical use of a calendar is to know when to plant and harvest crops. The lunar calendar is totally worthless. Surprised???? Thank Mohammed.

I never can remember which is which,Gregorian or Julian, but our current one replaced the other in the middle ages. The old one started the year on April 1st.Those who still followed the old one were called fools + thus our April fools day.
