Our jaunty jokester Mikey sent us an Internet oldie-but-goodie called "Money Bags," which says that this year the month of July has five Fridays, five Saturdays, and five Sundays. This actually happens every few years, not 823 years ago, as the email claims. ("Money Bags" also says that you have to forward the email to all your friends to win lucky bucks. Yeah, sure. Hey, we weren't born yesterday.)
The email also says that this year has four unusual dates (1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11) and that if you take the last two digits of the year you were born and add your age, the result is 111 for everyone in the world. We have no idea if this is true or not, because we are just English majors, not mathematicians, so feel free to debunk us on Snopes.com and flame us with withering looks and comments.
