I've encountered this thing mentioned that December is special as it has 5 Saturdays, 5 Sundays and 5 Mondays, which only happens every 824 years. 5 weekends!
Because nobody celebrates extra Mondays. Although they perpetually follow Sundays so I don't really follow any excitement at all. Every seven days it is Monday again. That's something that only happens once every week.
But, December? Surely every month with 31 days that starts on a Saturday has this phenomenon? And that for it to happen in December presumes that the 1st is a Saturday occasionally. Approximately every 5 or 6 years I'd guess.
And yes. It last happened in 2007 and will happen again in 2018. How exciting it isn't.
My neural networks are twitching and it seems this has been put about before, with the amazing 5 weekends in August 2010.
I'm not sure why it is put about. A joke? A chain mail thing? General thickness? Supposedly it's good feng shui to share it, so no doubt I've unleashed the same level of misfortune upon my life that my refusal to relocate my front door or toilet causes.
