Persian Months

"Persian months run in perfect tandem with the months of the Zodiac.  The first month of the year is Farvardin and corresponds to Aries and the last is Esfand which is exactly in parallel with Pisces." - from <em>Complete Modern Persian</em> by Narguess Farzad

 

I found this interesting.  I always thought the zodiac came from the ancient Greeks.  Can anyone tell me more about this?

Planned Obsolescence

I stumbled upon this video today.  It's well worth watching all the way to the end. I think it's unscrupulous and short-sighted on the part of companies to make a product deliberately designed to fail. Imagine a world where you don't have to work 40 hours a week to buy more stuff.  Imagine if our clothing, furniture, appliances, electronics, etc... lasted for many years like Chaillet's lightbulb.  What do you think the world would be like if lightbulbs and other things lasted 100 years? What if your appliances lasted even 25 or 50 years?  What if your car had a 20 year warranty?  Would it be better? How do you imagine life would be for us if we didn't have to constantly replace our things?
