" 'Pataphysics is the science of imaginary solutions, which symbolicaly grants
to the outlines, the properties of objects described by their
virtualities " (La 'Pataphysique est la science des solutions imaginaires, qui accorde
symboliquement aux linéaments les propriétés des objets décrits par leur
virtualité)
as it is said in Alfred Jarry, Les gestes et
opinions du Dr Faustroll (Gallimard/Poésie).
At least, it might not be science, but it is not gloomy science
'PataCal is based on the fourth edition of the official calendar of 1971 (4th edition) as reproduced in the magazine littéraire n°388 of juin 2000.
Origin: The pataphysical era starts on september 8th, 1873 (1 absolu
1).
Revolution: The pataphysical calendar is made of 13 months of 29 days each.
Of these days, the 29th are imaginary days (hunyadis) but the 29th of
gidouille and that of gueules in leap years. So the pataphysical years is
of 365 (13x28+1) days long (366 on leap years).
Peculiarity: all 13th days are fridays.
