this reminds me of what Napoleon tried to do back years ago.  Change the
week from 7 days to 10, as I'm told.  He discovered fairly quickly that
his troops fatigued substancially faster and deteriorated substancially
faster...so he moved back to the old 7.  I guess somewhere there's a
reason for the design of why things are the way they are...

Nite all....
