July? Never Heard of It.
Rebecca Watson, Editor

There's a very good chance that some of you are under the impression that there was a July. You are sorely mistaken.

Earlier this year, scientists discovered that two millennia of leap years accomplished absolutely nothing, and the Earth is terribly out of alignment with our calendar. Because this could lead to certain death and destruction, immediate action was required. Governments around the world eliminated a month of days, from July 15 to August 13, which is why you did not see a July issue of Skepchick. Though the editors had no control over this turn of events, we still offer our profuse apologies.

Had this leap-emergency not occurred, other issues may have contributed to a late issue, from my jetting off to Europe for two weeks to everyone trying to pull together the upcoming 2007 Skepchick and Skepdude calendars.

But it was really the leap thing. Seriously.
