August 2010 is unusual because it has FIVE Sundays, FIVE Mondays, and FIVE Tuesdays.
This wont happen again for another 823 years. And you'll probably miss it!

823 years you say? Wouldn't the 1st fall on a sunday approximately every 7 years?

Apparently with Leap-Years and all that it never quite works!
But happy to go back and say it's Bollox if you can show it to be the case :yes:

Ya pillock - try 2021...

Then again in 2027, then again in 2032, then again in (ad nauseum)...
Although leap years will shift the sequence a bit, the average will be once every seven years.
It beats me why this crap is being circulated...

I miss the point of this?
September 2010 5 Wednesdays and Thursdays
October 2010 5 Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays (Best month EVER!!!)
November 2010 5 Mondays and Tuesdays
December 2010 5 Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays
March 2011 5 Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays
Etc etc
Or are you just talking about that particular month and days?

Day/dates align at least every 28 years!
According to Outlook August 2038 will see it again.

It did reach it in 1986.
It's just a shame it didn't recover from the crash in 87

I thought it was special because some planet was sitting close to the moon...and you could see it if you looked. Not that I've bothered to look but I did see the moon last night and it was real purdy.

I'm surprised that more people didn't know this.
There are only 28 possible date sequences under the Julian & Gregorian calendars.

The original poster may suffer from slight dyslexia.....got confused with 28 but wrote it backwards and he may also suffer from 'making things bigger' syndrome...hence the adding of the 3:yes:
