Didnt even know such a thing was possible, must only be every few years it happens*

Don't worry March 2011 has 5 Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thurdays. They get you back in the end.

meh

why doesn't every month just have 28 days, that way we could have an extra one and only one day left over.
Then you wouldn't even need to learn the song to figure out how many days in the month

I don't understand how this could only be every few hundred years. If a month has 31 days and the first day of the month is a Friday then this would be true. How can that happen only once every few hundred years.

Why do I get the feeling that I'm going to have to stretch last months wages just that little bit further...?

July 2011 is the same. Plenty of months with five sets of sat and sun as well

You can't divide 13 months into 4 seasons.

Yes you can. 13 / 4 = 3.25

I think it's that all three happening 5 times in a month only happens every 800 years or so, or something like that. But I don't event think that's right. I read it somewhere at sometime and can't remember what it was. It was probably both intersting and importan.t

Sucks when you get paid on the last Friday of the month.....

But, but, but correct me if Im wrong but there are less than 800 years between Oct 2010 to July 2011? :P

humanji

Sorry, I read that as July 2010. January 2010 had 5 weekends too. But it's some sort of combination that happens this month that only happens every hundred years, and someone mucked it up by saying it was weekends. It's probably some sort of astronomy thing.

And how would that be better then four 3-month seasons? Having different seasons starting in the middle of a month? No.

Yup. A five week stretch before payday. Why did I buy that digital camera and leather jacket last week?

It happens once every hundred thousand years or so. When the sun don't shine, the moon don't glow, and the grass don't grow.

Well a calendar pattern repeats itself every 5 or 6 years (depending on the location of the leapyear - 7 days in a week minus the usual "extra" day for a normal year or 2 days for the leapyear ) so therefore October 2016 should be the exact same as this year....and lo and behold, it is :

P.S. Apparently - according to answers.com - there's a third option; it could also be 11 years before a pattern repeats, and my brain isn't obliging as to why that is.....maybe that's simply covering an entire year from start to finish, and not just a specific month, or maybe it's ass-covering the "exception" where it's that long before a 29-day February repeats ?

Awesome bro! Going to a halloween party at the end of october, can't wait!
