Did anyone notice the month just finished had 5 Sundays, 5 Mondays and 5 Tuesdays in it . Apparently this only happens every 823 years so I doubt any of us will see it again . OK I admit i am a little bored today .

Trubrit - sorry, not quite accurate. Actually, any month that has 31 days will always have a sequence of 3 days which occur 5 times in the same month. The last time August had five Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays was 2004. 6 years ago!

Sorry to be nitpicking. Obviously, I don't have a lot going on today.

You'd think at my age I would know better than believe what I read on Wiki . Thanks anyway Bamakmak.

No kidding. Best thing I could find was "I Survived a Japanese Gameshow". Just shoot me.

For a second there, I thought this might be the missing link behind the 9/11 conspiracy theory or who really killed JFK or the CIA involvement in the tsunami, but then I found out the same thing will happen again in 2021, 2027, and 2032. Back to the drawing board.

I was crushed to find out that Mars isn't on it's closest approach to Earth in 1,000 years either.
I'll have to send the bad news to my granny -- who sent me the e-mail.
Not sure how to break it to her.

Although there has been a very big golden thing in the sky lately. I wonder if it's Mars.

PS: Everyone knows it wasn't the CIA involved in the Pakistan earthquake.





It was the FBI.

Strewth, I didn't realise the housing market had slumped that far ........... seems a bit drastic just to "shift" a few houses !! ...................... How long have FBI had a branch in Pakistan, I always thought they were just Udon based !!
