Once in a lifetime!!!!

[Merlin the Magician]

This is the only time you will see this phenomenon in your life.
August, this year, will have 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens only once every 823 years. The Chinese call it 'Silver pockets full. " So: send this message to your friends and in four days money will surprise you. Based on Chinese Feng Shui. Whoever does not transmit the message .... may find themselves poor

I obeyed (you never know). :lol:

For those of us who are paid monthly five full weekends between pay days is not good news. Perhaps that's the money surprise.

I'm just curious how the Chinese would have a name for it. Would anybody have recorded the previous times?

I don't need to not send the message to find myself poor.

I dunno, but if you are really curious you could probably ask someone as the last time it happened was in 2008.

That reminds me...

Pub quiz question (no Googling):

Which month is the longest? (ie time, not letters)

 

[Bar the Bull]

October.

 

[simmo]

took me a second to work out why October is the correct answer.

.....took me an hour.

I don't know if it was the last time but it happened in March 2013 and July 2011 before that. Will next happen in May 2015 then January and July 2016.

Maybe the Chinese year is different.

 

[EC1]

is it just in August they mean though

October is longest month as clocks go back

Try August 2008 for that. It's a well known hoax but a harmless one.

The original post was August so I worked with that, but it applies to any month with 31 days.
