March 2013 – Five Fridays, Five Saturdays, Five Sundays – Hoax-Slayer

Outline

Circulating message claims that March 2013 will feature 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays, a special calendar event that only occurs once every 823 years. The message also claims that the event is called “money bags” and those who share it with others will receive money within 4 days.  




Brief Analysis

March 2013 does indeed have 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. However, the claim that such a combination only takes place every 823 is utter nonsense. It occurs far more often than that. The next occurrence will take place in March 2019. And it will again take place just a few years later in March 2024. In fact, 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. This message is just one more in a series of equally silly chain letters featuring different months.
