Discordian Calendar

The Discordian Calendar  

Many dates on this site are given according to the unholy Discordian calendar. If you don't know what "Discordian" means, you should read the Principia Discordia. You should probably read it anyway, if you haven't done so already.

The calendar is divided into five (of course!) seasons:

Name	Patron apostle
Chaos	Hung Mung
Discord	Dr. Van Van Mojo
Confusion	Sri Syadasti
Bureaucracy	Zarathud
The Aftermath	The Elder Malaclypse

The days of the week are named from the (guess what!) five Basic Elements: sweet, boom, pungent, prickle and orange:

1. Sweetmorn
2. Boomtime
3. Pungenday
4. Prickle-Prickle
5. Setting Orange

Holydays

Apostle Holydays	Season Holydays
1) Mungday	1) Chaoflux
2) Mojoday	2) Discoflux
3) Syaday	3) Confuflux
4) Zaraday	4) Bureflux
5) Maladay	5) Afflux

Apostle Holydays occurs on the 5th day of the Season.

Season Holydays occurs on the 50th day the Season.

St. Tib's Day occurs once every 4 years (1+4=5, of course) and is inserted between the 59th and 60th days of the Season of Chaos.
