Jan 2, 2015 at 11:04 comment added Alexandre Eremenko @Javier: I agree that the real problem is "Why Jaunuary has 31 days?"
Jan 2, 2015 at 9:53 comment added hjhjhj57 I don't know why didn't I know this. Amazing! According to the Wikipedia article on Augustus, the sixth month was named after him after his death. He died on August. On the other hand, Julius Caesar was born on July and died on March. What I find a little bit strange is that the pattern is totally lost, both January and December have 31 days.

Add reference
Dec 31, 2014 at 12:06 comment added magnattic „But then it did not look good that his month is shorter than July, so one day was added to July[..]“ - Should probably be August at the end here?
Dec 31, 2014 at 6:17 comment added dotancohen I edited fdb's reference into this answer to make it complete. I can attest to this answer as well, these are just facts that we know from years of curiosity in the field.

Dec 30, 2014 at 21:13 comment added Amit Tyagi Nice answer. But unfortunately, i can not accept it in absence of a reference. I know for person, so knowledgeable and with such a good memory, finding reference is not a big deal. :)
