13 does breakdown to leaving one extra day a year that would need to be 
added to a month somewhere or left alone as month 14.
The moon concept would be harder to deal with than current daylight 
savings time. Shifting time by 16 hrs each month end.
Thanks for the statistics why our calander based on moon cycles is so 
inappropriate.
Forget daylight savings time and all the other arguments, let the moon 
cycles govern months (every 27 days and 8 hrs) and come up with 
something more appropriate for syncing the earths rotation around the Sun.

Very  off-topic but at least a learning experience.
