August, last month
 
I didn't see this before but,
Last month had five Sundays, five Mondays and five Tuesdays, it won't happen again for over eight hundred years.

Oh, crap! I missed it!

800 years until it happens in August or any month? I'm trying to understand what's so exotic about this, every 31 day month has to have 3 days that occur 5 times, right?

BeyGon 09-01-2010 08:41 AM

I guess it's just the Sunday Monday Tuesday thing.

GH85Carrera 09-01-2010 08:47 AM

It is true that August 2010 has 5 Sundays, 5 Mondays and 5 Tuesdays. However, such a combination occurs far more often than every 823 years. The last occurrence was in August 2004 while the next occurrence will take place in August 2021.

Who gives a shlt!

I'll just be happy if September 2010 doesn't have any terror attacks. It's about time.

There are only about 10 or 20 different combos for the calender. I remember the phone book used to have a thing in there that listed calenders that fit on one page. Every calender for the last 100 years.

How could that be? BeyGon stated otherwise, and I'm sure he put a modicum of effort into checking his claim, instead of just reposting whatever e-mail he got from his 4th auntie thrice removed.

Just google it yourself.

So, that is exactly what you did, huh? I could send you an e-mail about how Mar's is going to be larger than the MOON this month!! Holy Cow!!

David 09-01-2010 11:58 AM

But only 4 Thursdays so I only got 2 paychecks. Fortunately September has 5 Thursdays!

red-beard 09-01-2010 01:04 PM

I always loved the months when there were 3 pay checks...

RWebb 09-01-2010 02:37 PM

this will NEVER happen again - don't forget: the world ends in 2012 (according to the Mayans) so that will be the end of time, hence the end of the Calender

widgeon13 09-01-2010 02:42 PM

Hell, the way things are going I'm hoping we all make it to 2012.

When a mechanic friend heard that Rigid Tools was planning to tone down its glamour calendar, he started saving them. So....he has seven Rigid calendars, one of which will work in any given year.

David 09-01-2010 05:06 PM

I thought there were only 14 different calendars, but the interweb is not helping me prove that. Anyone here disprove it?

It'll happen again in 2021.

M.D. Holloway 09-01-2010 05:51 PM

This will never happen again...ever.
