The shortest month of the year seems to have gone by in a flash. Why does February have only 28 days?
It's the Romans' fault. Our modern calendar is loosely based on their old, confusing one. Though records on the Roman calendar are sparse and sketchy, legend has it that Romulus, the first king of Rome, devised a 10-month lunar calendar that began at the spring equinox in March and ended with December. It is unclear whether there were any official months between December and March, but it's likely they were left off because the wintertime wasn't important for the harvest.

Actually the second king of rome decided to make the calendar more accurate by making it of 354 days. Therfore he tacked on January and February. And therfore february has 28 days.
