this years July has 5 Fridays 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays.This happens once every 823 years. This is called money bags

The 823 years claim is FALSE.

5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays is a REGULAR occurrence. It happened just last October (and this same nonsensical "823 years" claim went around the 'Net about that month).

The next occurrence after this July will be in March 2013.

If you restrict it to July, it occurred in 2005 and will happen again in 2016.

WAY more often than every 823 years.

I forgot to mention ....
In ANY 31 day month, whatever the days of the week the first through the third fall on, those days of the week will occur 5 times within the month.

So for example if a 31 day month starts on a Monday, that month will have 5 Mondays, 5 Tuesdays and 5 Wednesdays.

If it starts on a Saturday (like this month), there will be 5 Saturdays, 5 Sundays and 5 Mondays.

And so on. :cool:
