	This information which is available on request, can be used to generate as many as 19 or more special occasions in any given year to cash in on gifts, dinners out, flowers, or romantic get togethers. {Trying to stay politically correct and maintain general rating} Or on a more unselfish note, would allow you to celebrate a loved ones birthday more than once in a year and allow you to show your appreciation and admiration for that person with gifts, dinner out, or whatever your imagination deems appropriate. "Loved One" can be defined as husband, wife, spouse, mate, boyfriend, girlfriend, lover, soul mate, intimate, idol, good friend, or someone you wish to include in the afore mentioned categories. "Birthday" can be defined as any special occasion such as a birthday or the anniversary of your wedding, first date, first kiss, first feel, first love making, etc. If you were to track your birthday, your loved ones birthday, your joint anniversary, your joint first date, and your first love making, you could celebrate something on 95 days out of the 365 available. And that doesn't even take into account statutory holidays or religious occasions if you are so inclined. That provides a legitimate and fully legal reason to tip a glass or make love approx. every 4 days without any problems or guilt at all, and still leaves 270 days open to do it just because. A "Birthday" occurs once a year using conventional thinking and it marks the elapsed time for the planet Earth to complete one full orbit around the Sun. It therefor stands to reason that every other planet in this Solar System also has a year based on the time required for it to complete a full orbit around the Sun. In addition to the planetary years, time can be calculated based on the number of moons a person sees. For example, if it was a full moon on the day you were born, then on the next full moon, you would be one, and on the one after that, two etc etc. This is the age calculator used by the native Americans, the people mentioned in the Bible that lived to 900 or so, and probably a hundred other races or civilizations. I also calculate age based on KiloDays. This is a period of exactly 1000 days. I do not use any other celestial bodies such as comets or meteor showers. So, to show how this works, in any given Earth year, you could celebrate an absolute minimum of 19 birthdays by using as many as 13 Moons, 4 birthdays using the planet Mercury's orbital cycle, a minimum of 1 using Venus, and of course, your 1 allotted Earth birthday. In addition to this and dependant on the year, you may have reason to celebrate a second Venusian birthday, or something else based on the more distant planetary orbits. Venus yields approx. 3 birthdays for every 2 earth years, Mars yields 1 birthday for approx. 2 earth years. And the outer planets are slower to orbit. Jupiter needs 11.9 years per orbit, Saturn = 29.5 years, Uranus = 84 years, Neptune = 165, and Pluto = 248. Needless to say, only a few people will live long enough to celebrate their first birthday on Uranus, and I have no personal knowledge of anybody at all celebrating their first Neptunian or Plutonian birthdays. I have a personal preference to calculating my age based on Mars, or using KiloDays as they yield numbers I don't dislike. The Terran calendar is generating a number that is just getting way too big for my liking. I won't tell you precisely how old I am or when I was born, that's tradeable information, but using all of the calculators, I am the following ages as at May 30, 2003, the day this page was written. Mercury .......... = 254 .... will be 255 on Jun 12, 2003, Venus ............... = 98 .... will be 99 on Aug 16, 2003, Terra ................. = ?? .... you figure this one out by yourself. Mars ................. = 32 .... will be 33 on Apr 14, 2004, Jupiter ................ = 5 ..... will be 6 on May 28, 2013, Saturn ................ = 2 ..... will be 3 on Aug 16, 2030, Uranus ............... = 0 ..... will be 1 on Apr 03, 2026, we are closing in on this one Neptune ............. = 0 ..... will be 1 on Jan 05, 2103, yeah, right, and Pluto .................. = 0 ..... will be 1 on Dec 25, 2189, any bets on this one? I am also a venerable 754 moons old, but am only a sprightly 22 KiloDays. I celebrated my 5th Jovian birthday on Jul 17, 2001 without even creating a ripple. So there you go. If you would like the precise dates of either your or a loved ones birthday or a special occasion, Just with the Month, Day, and Year {this is mandatory and required information}. Time of day is optional and only required if you wish more accuracy. I do not need to know what the date refers to, or the name attached to the event, but if I knew, then I could add you to my birthday list .
