First Post and it's about a Facebook Status Update

    I'm not super superstitious, but this year October has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens once every 823 years. This is money bags. So copy this to your status and money will arrive within 4 days. Based on Chinese Feng Shui. The one who does not copy, will be without money. I cannot let that person be me. Copy within 11 min.

I have to ask, did anyone who posted this receive bags of money? If so I'd like to be your new best friend.

Didn't receive any money? That's ok, this sort of thing happens. Updates and magic incantations generally don't generate bags of money. If they did, again, I would like to be your new best friend.

If the users (who believed the update and posted it) had checked the calendar they may have noticed months with 31 days generally had 3 days that came around 5 times. It would also have saved them a little bit of embarrassment.

Examples below. Check it out for yourself.

• January 2010: Friday, Saturday and Sunday came around 5 times
• March 2010:  Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday did the same
• May 2010: Saturday, Sunday and Monday-yes, you got it right-came around 5 times too.
