constant month = 21*24*60*60;

BTW: This constant seems a bit odd. For what planet or in what calendar is this a month?

      Most likely. But on the other hand, the wonderful book Calendrical Calculations (3rd ed.) by Dershowitz and Reingold (is this free download kosher?) makes it clear that most likely someone, somewhere, at some time in human history has used a month of 21 and just about every other number of days. Go figure.
