Discordian calendar

[1]: 00053 As described in the Principia Discordia, the Discordian calendar has five 73-day seasons: Chaos, Discord, Confusion, Bureaucracy, and The Aftermath.

The Erisian week consists of five days: Sweetmorn, Boomtime, Pungenday, Prickle-Prickle, and Setting Orange.

The days of the week are named after the five basic Discordian elements: Sweet, Boom, Pungent, Prickle, and Orange.

There are Apostle Holydays on the 5th day of each season, named after the 5 Discordian apostles: Mungday, for Hung Mung; Mojoday, for Dr. Van Van Mojo; Syaday, for Sri Syadasti; Zaraday, for Zarathud; and Maladay, for Malaclypse the Elder.

Only these eleven dates are named in the Principia Discordia; however, Discordians have felt free to invent other holidays which have become popular to varying degrees.

[6] There was some controversy,[7][8] but in the end, anyone wishing to reintroduce ddate to a distribution will have to create a separate package based on the new upstream.
