This is the only time you see this phenomenon in your lifetime.
Calendar August 2014

August, this year, will have 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens only once every 823 years

This is not true. August 2014 does have five Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays but it doesn’t occur just every 823 years. For a month to have five Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, it has to be a month that has 31 days and must have the first day of the month on a Friday. This can only occur in the months of January, March, May, July, August, October and December. It’s impossible in any other month. Every year has ONLY one month that has five Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays although once every 5-7 years there is a year with NO 5 F/S/S month like 2012 and there are occasional years that have two months (one of the months will always be January). Also, every single year will have 7 months (see above) that have some sort of “5 days” combination. Check it out.

1SG James L Vetter, I thought the same thing, but then I learned what SSG Private RallyPoint Member wrote.

Check out May 2015. It's the same as August 2014.
