Subject: BS: Once in a lifetime ... From: ChrisJBrady Date: 23 Jun 11 - 05:40 AM I KNOW MOST HAVE SEEN THE JULY CALENDAR, BUT THERE IS MORE TO THIS THAT IS VERY INTERESTING. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME WE WILL SEE AND LIVE THIS EVENT Calendar for July 2011 (unconventional ordering due to lack of formatting!!) Fr Sa Su Mo Tu We Th 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Money bags This year, July has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens once every 823 years. This is called money bags. So, according to Chinese Feng Shui, if you forward this to your friends money will arrive within 4 days. The one who does not forward.....will be without money. Kinda interesting - read on!!! This year we're going to experience four unusual dates. 1/1/11, 1/11/11 , 11/1/11 , 11/11/11 and that's not all... Take the last two digits of the year in which you were born - now add the age you will be this year, The results will be 111 for everyone in whole world. This is the year of the Money!!! The proverb goes that if you send this to eight good friends money will appear in next four days as it is explained in Chinese FENGSHUI. We'll see!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Once in a lifetime ... From: Nigel Parsons Date: 23 Jun 11 - 09:57 AM July 2033 also starts on a Friday. This is a common misconception which is being passed around the internet. Send it to enough people and someone will be daft enough to forward it on to hundreds of their acquaintances without checking its accuracy! |

Subject: RE: BS: Once in a lifetime ... From: Nigel Parsons Date: 23 Jun 11 - 10:04 AM Take the last two digits of the year in which you were born - now add the age you will be this year, The results will be 111 for everyone in whole world. I could easily have a grandson born in 2008. This year he would be 3 Add 08 to 03 you get 11, NOT 111 |

Subject: RE: BS: Once in a lifetime ... From: katlaughing Date: 23 Jun 11 - 11:08 AM It's fun to see these things and play around with the numbers. I think that may have been a typo about the age adding thing. At my age and last two digits of the year I was born, I get 11, also. So, does that make me a youngster?:-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Once in a lifetime ... From: Nigel Parsons Date: 23 Jun 11 - 11:22 AM No Kat, it just shows your maths ability. If you are adding the last two digits of your birth year to your age (this year), then you will only get the answer 11 if you are under 12 |

Subject: RE: BS: Once in a lifetime ... From: catspaw49 Date: 23 Jun 11 - 11:41 AM If you take all 4 digits of the year you were born, add the current year, then divide by the age of you best friend, the total you get will be the multiplication factor you use when you multiply the totals of your birthdate and last year's age. Now divide by the dial number of your favorite radio station. The result will be either the sure knowledge you'll waste your time on some simpleass any damn shit you see on the net or the number of broken watches in your top dresser drawer.....possibly both.

Subject: RE: BS: Once in a lifetime ... From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 23 Jun 11 - 11:42 AM I'm glad to hear that July has an extra weekend this year. If you've ever endured an August in Missouri, you'd be glad too, to hear that August will be shorter. :) |

Subject: RE: BS: Once in a lifetime ... From: Gurney Date: 23 Jun 11 - 05:39 PM I remember lying in bed when I heard the radio announcer say "It is 7:07 on the seventh of the seventh of 77, and that won't happen again for a hundred years!" From my sub. to my sleep-drugged concious mind slowly percolated, 'But neither will 7:08 7-7-77, or absolutely any other time and date!' It was a lying-in morning. |

Subject: RE: BS: Once in a lifetime ... From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 24 Jun 11 - 02:21 AM Bill D, I think you should submit your poem to the thread on 'Looking through the Knothole in Grandpa's Wooden Leg.' It has the same zany character. At first I was glad because we'd have less August (post above), but now I realize that July is so long partly because it stole days from June, (only 30 days) which is lovelier than July. Bummer! You've got to wonder what the ancient Romans were thinking when they gave us 31 days of January and only 30 of April and June. |

Subject: RE: BS: Once in a lifetime ... From: Geoff the Duck Date: 24 Jun 11 - 04:15 AM I'm still working my way through the Chinese Feng Shui bit. If I read it correctly - It is Traditional that Every Chinese Person sends the above in an e-mail Every 823 Years. AND - If they failed to send the E-mail 823 years ago, they Didn't Get Any Money. So to prove it - all we have to do is find a Chinese person who was alive 823 years ago, had a computer and had friends with e-mail addresses and actually bothered to send the message. We than have to ask them if the cash arrived in less than five days. It must be the easiest thing to prove! Can't understand why you skeptics don't believe... Anyway It's on the Interweb so it MUST be true. Quack! Geoff the Duck. |

Subject: RE: BS: Once in a lifetime ... From: Jack Campin Date: 24 Jun 11 - 07:19 AM I think the last July to start on a Friday was in 2005. A bit more recent than 823 years ago. Maybe somebody got confused about something that happens in the Chinese calendar but not in ours? A quick google also gives a link to Pepys's diary for Friday 1 July 1664, when he was playing the harpsichord while pissing pus. |

Subject: RE: BS: Once in a lifetime ... From: ChanteyLass Date: 24 Jun 11 - 10:17 PM I recently saw a performer who started his routine with one of those math formula things (pick a number from 1 to something and then do certain things to it, including at one point adding digits) and then change the number you ended with to the corresponding letter of the alphabet, think of a country beginning with that letter, think of an animal with a name starting with the last letter of the country's name, and think of a fruit beginning with the last letter of the animal's name. He then announced that our last three answers were Denmark, kangaroo, and orange. The whole thing was based on the math formula ending with four, so the country that people would choose would most likely be Denmark and the other choices would be likely to follow. Most of the audience must have made the "correct" choice of Denmark, because there was much applause, laughter, and people turning to look at each other in amazement--except for me. I had chosen Dominican Republic! |
