October 2011
Just got an email informing me that this coming October will have 5 Sundays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Mondays. That only happens every 823 years. I thought I'd pass along that interesting piece of information and let you make of it what you will.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

Man, hopefully we'll all be able to say we were there. Why couldn't they do that in August though? The weather's better and there's two u's in August.

I often have months with 5 Sundays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Mondays, but that's only because I'm a bit slow when it comes to changing the calendars.
 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

I have Bapu pay up only on the days that end with a Y. It keeps things simple and cuts down on the administration costs and I can pass those savings on to him.

Tell me you didn't sit there clicking through a calendar for twenty minutes just to test the premise... Nah, I reckon he just Googled "5 Sundays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Mondays" and clicked the Hoax Slayer result.

I dunno what's worse, Strummaging for the truth or opening them kind of emails, let alone sharing the contents of 'em in public. I vote the latter here. edit: to add smiley

The email that came to me was in the form of a chain letter, with a promise that if I forwarded it to "eight good friends", fortune was sure to come to me. If posting it to a forum counts, that fortune should start rolling in at any moment.

I get lots of emails that I have to think 'really long and hard' about before putting them in the trash.
