December on the calendar

[Strix]

This is really interesting. Look at the calendar This rarely happens!


The month of December this year has 5 Saturdays, 5 Sundays and 5 Mondays. This will be the only time you will see this phenomenon in your lifetime! It only happens once every 823 years.

Wonder how many people will fall for this...

It happened in 2012

Soooooo at least twice?? LOL

[Strix]

You're right! Twice as a matter of fact in 2012. January and July.
I guess I should have researched this before I passed it on.

This old chestnut has been around as long as Face Book and Twitter, or email. This is the TRUE definition of fake news. Almost every year has a month like this or the other version 5 Sun, 5 Sat and 5 Fridays.

Actually it will happen again in 2029, 2035, 2040, 2046.

My sister sent a email thread like this around to the family a few years ago and I responded about how often it happens (essentially every year there is at least 1 month). My mom told me I was a smart ass and to be nicer. LOL

[Strix]

As the OP to this thread, I agree with your mother

[Chixfishing]

It usually happen in every six years lol

I like Strix answer better. it has a way better oooh aaaah thing about it than just saying "...uh, 6 years, duh."

besides, it's not like anyone else knew the truth until they googled it, I mean, there aint no savants who have that actual number stuck in memory, or in some freaky part of their brain that's perpetually matched to a calendar.

if strix brought this up around a campfire in the 70's , most would say "neat", but now everybody are only as intelligent as their fingers can type a question into their smartphone.

merry Christmas strix
