July 2012
Turns out none in this post is true!
This year, July will have 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays.
This happens only once every 823 years. Doubt it really means anything!
All 31 day months have 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdas and 5 Sundays every 6 to 11 years forever! For the record July 2012 doesn't have 5 Fridays. http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/trivia/fivedays.asp Erwin
It means you fell for a hoax. Two points: (1) That calendar is for July 2011, not 2012 (July starts on a Sunday this year); and (2) the calendar shown occurs in July far more often than once every 823 years. I'm 41 and July has had that calendar 6 times in my lifetime already: 1977, 1983, 1988, 1994, 2005 and 2011. The next two instances will be in 2016 and 2022.
