The current calendar makes no sense. Some months have 30 days, others have 31, and then February has its own thing going on.

The calendar should be 10 months of 36 days each, with a month consisting of 6 weeks of 6 days each.

And the 5 days left over (or 6 in a leap year) should be a year-end holiday for hedonistic feasts and orgies.

This would be much more sensible.

I’m reading a case reported about an infectious disease in a neonate, and it noted that the mother had not eaten cheese during pregnancy.

40 weeks without cheese??? How? 😨

Daily reminder: fuck #elsevier

If you are gonna nitpick authors about an arbitrary overlap percentage in Crossref reports, then don’t run the report including the affiliations, author list, references, standard disclosures, and mandatory statements in the cover letter (not even part of the manuscript!) all counting toward the overlap.

So annoying. Authors are stuck dealing with manuscripts that obviously do not have problems with text borrowing
