Hoax – June 2012 – 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays – Hoax-Slayer

Outline

Circulating message claims that June 2012 will feature 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays, a configuration that occurs only once every 823 years.  

Brief Analysis

The claims in the message are utter nonsense. Firstly, the calendar included in the message is not for June 2012, or any other June. The month of June has 30 days, not 31. And secondly, any month that has 31 days will have three consecutive days that occur five times in the month. Such combinations are commonplace and occur each and every year, certainly not just once in 823 years as claimed.
