That's like a highway of slaw.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

It is! Highway of slaw AND cartoon comedy gold.
This may be a job for baby goats.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I think maybe goats and rabbits!!

I have no cabbages making me late! I didn't get up when my alarm told me to because I didn't go to bed when I should have and then the shuttle was late, so I'm probably not making my 9am call unless there's a miracle.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Blocking a highway with spilled cabbages sounds like something a supervillain would do. Perhaps this was done by Coleslaw Man.
Or maybe The Riddler--to be followed by an explosion at a shoe store and a fire in a sealing-wax factory. Then Batman will use the Bat-computer to figure out this is all a reference to The Walrus and The Carpenter.

Which will lead to a robbery at an oyster bar/clam bake.

Kat has a point, though, introducing rabbits as the solution to anything rarely works out well.
If life were The Simpsons, a mayonnaise truck would crash next.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Amazing!
And if Chinese Month 3 is actually the third month instead of September being the 9th month I can't criticize that system.
SERIOUSLY. That makes me pause about half the time. Stupid calendar makers!

Didn't the Roman calendar only have ten months?

Only way early on. For at least some purposes, though, the year was reckoned to start with the Spring Equinox, with February being the last month, so September was the seventh month.
There were a BUNCH of calendar reforms before Julian and some minor-ish after (before Gregorian, of course). It's super interesting - lunar calendars make so much sense for short term tracking but getting them to line up with solar calendars is way hard. Leap days, leap months, skipping months, big holidays that just don't count as part of the calendar, lost of variety in how to address the issue.
