I just wish the Earth turned a little slower so a year has 360 days and each day gives you a clean one degree of angular movement (or we defined a full revolution around an axis as 365 degrees since 360 is arbitrary too as far as math is concerned. Actually, anyone know why we didn’t do that?)

360 isn’t as arbitrary as you think and was chosen specifically for its divisibilty. 365 doesn’t divide well by much of anything.
Ah. Fair enough then.
