Why do some months have 30 and others 31 days?

How come some months have 30 and some have 31 days? And February has 28. How come it isnt more regular? Like, "every other month is 30 days" or "the first X months have 30 days and the second (12-X) have 31. And then Feb could have 30 and the 31st day could be the leap day.
 
Wasn't there a proposal to change the year into 13 months with the same number of days each month?
 
Why can't they figure out a metric calendar? This 30/31 crap is utter BS.

Don't even get me started on February.
 
What's the year/month that we had the last calendar realignment?. Some month back in the 1400s only has 20 days of something. It some done by some king of England, I believe.

Found it, it was Sept 1752. US & England adopts Gregorian calender (no Sept 3-Sept 13th)

Do a 'cal 9 1752' in unix and you see the missing days. It goes Tue 1, Wed 2, Thurs 14, Fri 15...
