December 2012 has FIVE Fridays, FIVE Saturdays and FIVE Sundays!

This happens ONCE every 823 years.

So take advantage of this cause you wont get a second chance!

Five Fridays? Five Fridays? Maybe in Bizzarro World. Perhaps in some strange parrallelllllllllllll Universe but not where I'm at. Press secretary Jay Carney says it's just in response to a tasteless video. Everyone knows what a straight shooter he is. A tiskit a tasket a creamy yellow basket.

Oh, and I just checked my calendar....December has 5 Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays, but only 4 Fridays....

Heck, I'm RETIRED so I have nothing but Saturdays on my calendar. 365 SATURDAYS and every 4th year, that's right a BONUS SATURDAY.

YA IT'S AN URBAN LEGEND.

Any 31-day month that begins on a Friday will have five Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The last time this happened was October 2010; the next time (after July 2011) will be March 2013. It won't happen again in the month of July until 2016 — but even that's only five years away.

I guess it's back to JOKES.

You dang people ARE way to quick!

Ya the calendar I believe is a Chinese calendar.

Anyway hope everyone has the very best day they possible can!

Sorry, Joe. Sadly, it isn't true. Five Fri-Sat-Sun happens in some month once per year on average.

Obviously, it can only happen in one of the months with 31 days; i.e. if the first day of a 31-day month is Friday. Logically, this should happen once every 7 years on average for each month, with a couple of twists:

In non-leap years, January and October calendars are identical (all of the other 31-day month calendars are different).

In leap years, January and July's calendars are identical (all of the other 31-day month calendars are also different).

So there is definitely a 28-year cycle in which each of the seven 31-day months has a "five Fri-Sat-Sun" 4 times.

Yes, I know I am a nerd...but calendar math can be a lot of fun. I am always amazed by the people who can tell you what day of the week any particular date fell on. I was watching "Forrest Gump" once with a friend, and at the "she died on a Tuesday" scene, he tilted his head for a second and said "hey...that's wrong...the date on her tombstone isn't a Tuesday". I laughed my arse off over that. I'm sure it never even entered the filmmakers' minds that someone would check it, and so easily.
