Time

Monday's child is fair of face; Tuesday's child is full of grace;
Wednesday's child is full of woe; Thursday's child has far to go; 
Friday's child is loving and giving; Saturday's child works hard for a living;
But the child that is born on the Sabbath Day is blithe and bonny, good and gay.

•  Benjamin Franklin came up with the idea for Daylight Saving Time and then on August 8, 2005, President George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This Act changed the time change dates for Daylight Saving Time in the U.S.  Beginning in 2007, DST will begin on the second Sunday in March and end the first Sunday in November. The Secretary of Energy will report the impact of this change to Congress. (And here’s the really neat part) Congress retains the right to resume the 2005 Daylight Saving Time schedule once the Department of Energy study is complete.

In astronomy, the lunar (or synodic) month is the time required for the moon to pass from a particular phase, such as the full moon, back to the same phase; it averages 29.53059 days.

The sidereal month is the time taken for the moon to make one revolution from a particular star back to the same star, as estimated from the center of the earth; it averages 27.32166 days.

Other types of months used in astronomy are the tropical month, the mean time of revolution from one celestial longitude back to the same longitude, averaging 27.32156 days; the nodical month, the mean time of revolution from one node back to the same node, averaging 27.21222 days; and the solar month, equivalent to one-twelfth of a tropical year or 30.43685 days. The calendar month is exactly 28, 29, 30, or 31 days.
