    Just got the following forwarded to me in an email:

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

    Calendar for July 2011

    Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat
    1 2
    3 4 5 6 7 8 9
    10 11 12 13 14 15 16

    Money bags

    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.
    This is the year of the Money!!!

    The proverb goes that if you send this to eight good
    friends money will appear in next four days as it is
    explained in Chinese FENGSHUI.

    Those who don't continue the chain won't receive.......

    Its a mystery, but its worth a try. good luck.

    I hate spam... unless it comes from a tin, gets battered and then fried :-)

        Could you not have proactively kept this to yourself? This is what we, who are scientifically minded, refer to as complete and utter bollocks of the highest order.

            Batter fried eh? I haven't tried that with spam. Does one use a fish and chip style batter for this? I usually just pan fry slices, add cheese, construct sammich, declare victory.

              Waitaminit... How much money are we talkin' about? The reason I ask is because I got an email a couple fo days ago from a "Ben S. Bernanke" about $1.9 million waiting for me in some sort of a savings account at a bank in Nigeria, and all I had to do was fill out the proper paperwork to claim it. That sounds like a lot better deal than some chain-letter thing talking about coincidental calendrical alignments.

                        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.
                        This is the year of the Money!!!

                        The proverb goes that if you send this to eight good
                        friends money will appear in next four days as it is
                        explained in Chinese FENGSHUI.

                        Those who don't continue the chain won't receive.......

                        Its a mystery, but its worth a try. good luck.

                        you're supposed to be sending this sh!te to "good friends", but then maybe you don't have any if this is the kind of sh!te you send them.

                            Batter fried eh? I haven't tried that with spam. Does one use a fish and chip style batter for this? I usually just pan fry slices, add cheese, construct sammich, declare victory.

                            Fish and chip style batter is good, going that extra mile and making a beer batter is better :-D

                                      1. Take the year you were born 2. take as many of those digits (or any other digits you like) and form a number (n) 3. Now, subtract that number from itself (n - n) 4. Nearly everybody will end up with 0 (zero)

                                          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.

                                          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.
                                          This is the year of the Money!!!

                                          The proverb goes that if you send this to eight good
                                          friends money will appear in next four days as it is

                                          You cannot call yourself a developer if you don't realize how absurd this claim is upon seeing it.
