This is the only time you see this phenomenon in your life.
Calendar August 2014
August, next year, will have 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens only once every 823 years. The Chinese call it 'Silver pockets full."
Actually you don't need to wait for 823 years. In July 2011 calendar also had 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays.
The good thing is we will have 5 weekends in August 2014.
823 years is preposterous.
every 31 day month has 5 of 3 successive days. approximately every 7th 31 day month will have the 29th as a Friday - then Friday Saturday and Sunday occur 5 times - there are seven 31 day months every year, so on average one of those will be a 5-Friday-Saturday-Sunday month.
August 2014 has 5 weekends.
January, March, May, July, August, October, December are the months that have 31 days in a year.
Look calendar of May 2015 has 5 Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. May 2015 is just 9 months away from August 2014. So, whoever originally said 823 years to have 5 weekends is ridiculous. We have been fooled by stupid Chinese.

The two Australian DJ's made a prank call to the hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate, was treated for her severe morning sickness. They pretended as Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles. The phone call went through and the nurse transferred the call to the nurse station that taking care of Kate. These two Aussies secretly recorded the phone call and broadcasted on their radio station. Unfortunately, the nurse who took the call thought it was a real call. She committed suicide. A stupid joke became a tragedy. This is very sad.
To say in fairness of my opinion, Westerners (including Aussies) like to make jokes, or play pranks for fun which is Okay among the Westerners. But the nurse was from India, as far as I know, including Asians are less humorous for political incorrect jokes, or silly pranks. Different nationalities have different cultures and personalities, so they think differently. Unfortunately, the nurse took that phony call was too seriously and committed suicide. If the Aussies DJs could foresee this tragedy coming, they wouldn't make that dreadful phone call. If that nurse understood the culture of Westerners, she wouldn't kill herself.

I posted a blog about "politics (Election date on 11/6/2012)" on Asian Friendfinder, so I was on this dating site often few days BEFORE election date. Few days before 11/6/12, I saw 4 star General David Petraeus was online with his uniform and all his medals on Asian Friendfinder. It drew my attention because his uniform photos, so I read his profile. I remember he wrote his full name (including his middle name) from the beginning and then said he is a 4 star General. As I read along, I saw he put his education "High School" that really turned me off. However, I Google his name and read his military career. General Petraeus profile was on for 3 days only and then he disappeared.
To my surprise, his name is all over the news (TV, newspaper, internet, Apps, .....) everywhere since Nov. 09, 2012. The news burned like wild fire that he resigned because he had an extramarital affair. By now, you know his news. He has a PhD degree graduated from Princeton University and met his wife at Harvard University.
I wonder why he posted his profile on here with fake education or someone else posted his profile using "copy" and "paste" his photos from internet and his career and experience are public information.
I wonder why he chose Asian Friendfinder site to post profile and the timing was few days before the election and announced his resignation from CIA few days after election. He is supposed in East Coast, but he posted profile as in California that why he showed up in my "who is online now" section. (My filter set up for California only and age range limitation.) General Petraeus was born on Nov 07, 1952 according to Wikipedia.
