Vic, does that mean if your birthday is on one of those days it means good luck OR to avoid wombats and black cats??

If it means to avoid wombats, that could cause a problem cos wombat is a good mate of mine (this week) smile

If it means to avoid black cats then that's no problem wink

Take your pick Doug, your choice wink biggrin

Your becoming a bit of a "fair weather friend", bit of a worry when you have weeks your friends with Wombat! no

I am probably a turncoat too not backing Wombat up being a fellow honorary Sandgroper, can't claim he is a West Aussie though as Wombat come from over east....wink biggrin 

Poor old Wombat has to fend all of us off on his own, I bet he looks forward to your "Wombats' friend this week" periods....biggrin biggrin biggrin

Should you wish to look at this logically you would see that every month that has 31 days in it will have its first 3 days of that month repeated 5 times. This means that every time a friday is the first day in a 31 day month, then the friday, saturday and sunday will appear 5 times.

By my calculation, the next time this will happen after August this year will be May next year.

The 2014 calendar will be repeated in 2025, which is only 11 years away, so the same 5 days will appear in August again that year.

I don't see where the 823 years time span can possibly be computed to be a reality, in fact, by calculation you would see that the year 2837 (2014 + 823) would have only 4 fridays, but 5 saturdays, sundays and mondays.

Obviously a poorly conceived myth.

So true John, unfortunately that's life and I for one still get caught occasionally, but should be more aware.

A bit like the old saying, if it's too good to be true it usually is.....cry
