THIS IS THE ONLY TIME WE WILL SEE AND LIVE THIS EVENT . . .

Calendar for July 2011


This year, July has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens
once every 823 years. This is called money bags. So, forward this to
your friends and money will arrive within 4 days. Based on Chinese
Feng Shui. The one who does not forward.....will be without money.

Kinda interesting - read on!!!

This year we're going to experience four unusual dates.

1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11 and that's not all...

Take the last two digits of the year in which you were born - now add the age you will be this year.

The results will be 111 for everyone in whole world.

Not so. It happens regularly, every 5-11 years. Famous urban myth.

Only if they were born before the year 2000.

"Party-pooper"!
it is nice to know that it happens more often, now if we could just have Presidential elections every two years.....
Any day when one learns nothing new, is a day wasted! I have wasted my share!
However, a day when one learns something, "period", is becoming a rarity indeed!
Thank you SMED, for this "rarity"!
Coop, looks like I got you into a "peck' of trouble. I thought it was credible.
My dad ysed to tell me," Believe nothing that you read, and only half of what you see"!
I should have listened....

A person who has never made a mistake has never done anything. (Wow what a double negative. LOL)

I don't think our "English Teachers" will notice, (unless they, too, are coin collectors)! Then we are in deep trouble!

There are "Hams", and there are Ham operators.
A rank amateur will "ham it up", while a "Hog rancher will "ham it all.
justafarmer, that sounds like programming, or were you stuttering?

There was some one who posted on ebays discussion boards that had a great quote to end his posts. I looked for a long time so I could give him credit but never could find it again?

There are only 10 kinds of people in this world.
Those that understand binary and those that don't.

I LOVE that........

And in the same vein is a saying that I've seen that only someone who knows something about IP addressing will understand...

There's no place like 127.0.0.1
