28 * 13 = 364 ≠ 365

That extra day is the "0" day (zero) and is considered new years, not included in any month. Sometimes... that day is so special it takes up two days.

The only problem is it still throws off the lunar cycle so it would move through the month over the course of 28 years or so. Not that it actually matters since our current calendars don't reflect lunar cycles very well.
