I heard this statement on the news this morning my first thought because I was still asleep and hadn't had any coffee yet was "WOW, That is so cool!" After I had a cup of coffee it changed to " Huh that can't be right...." In fact NO it is NOT right.......
Let’s think about this, a year can only start on one of seven days, so there are seven possible basic calendar years. Add leap years, and there are fourteen basic calendars. Period. And one of those calendars only gets used every 823 years? How would that be possible? It’s not of course, all fourteen calenders get cycled through regularly, in fact 2010 uses the exact same calendar as 1999. That’s eleven years, not 823.
Now it is cool that this month has 10-10-10. Since this date only occurs once a century and the five Fri/Sat/Sun occur only once every 7 or 8 years. Also we had the whole harvest/equinox moon thingy all of which are very cool. Add on top Rangers & My NY Yankees today thats definitely never happened before. This all sets up for a very memorable October.
Finale Point, Go ahead and save your 2010 calendar, it will be good again in these upcoming years: 2021, 2027, 2038, 2049, and 2055. And for future reference, 2066, 2077, 2083, 2094, and 2100.
