So...about that calendar thing...
Turns out that it is a complete bunch of hooey! Yep, a whole lot of internet malarky. Just a big glop of digital gobbledegook and I fell for it hook, line and sinker.
Why?
Because it was cool. I wanted it to be true. That I think is why we believe things a lot of the time: either they fit into our general scheme of how the world works so we accept them without question or they are just cool enough that we want them to be true so we don't bother to question them. And this one was so very not true that I feel sort of silly having been taken in.
The truth? Far from happening only once every 823 years, the heralded five F-S-S weekend thingie happened earlier in 2010, in January to be precise, and also the previous May, to name just a couple of examples. Doesn't take much research, actually: just scroll a calendar program backwards looking for months that begin on a Friday and see if they have 31 days.
Arrgh.
Ah well...I'm allowed to be stupid once in a while too. :-)
(Thanks to Matt Phillips for pointing out the reality! X cred to you for catching me in such a monumental goofup!)
