Not earth shattering, but slightly interesting: This October 2010 has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays.It happens only once every 823 years. You could impress those at work with your smarts or just forget this trivia.
You had me going, thinking "this would be rough month to cover weekends".
But geekosystem sorts it all out beautifully.
Maybe savants who know the day of week for every year ever are exploiting this math?
Still impressive, since I'm not even sure exactly what day of month it is many days.

While it's true that October 2010 has 5 Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. This happens quite frequently, not every 823 years.
Check years 1999, 2004, and 2021 for example.

Sorry, there's a sucker born every minute and I'm the latest in an E-mail scam. That 823 year report is FALSE! see snopes.com http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/trivia/fivedays.asp

Did you notice that last Sunday was 10-10-10? What you were doing at 10:10am?
