      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.

            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)

                      Do you know how old I was when I figured out that the calendar repeats exactly every 28 years? I wasn't old enough to vote or drive, but I could figure that out, and use it two write an eternal calendar program on a Sinclair Spectrum. OK, you got a chain letter and decided to share it, ok you're not smart enough to realise that the claims in the email a spurious. But, seriously, it takes no more than 5 seconds to google any chain mail and get clued in. Look: Click Here It's bad enough that we have to put up with this from the muggles on facebook, but Code Project ? Come on. -Richard

                        When I was really young, my family had a dictionary (I mean like a paper one that you can hold in your hands) and it had a perpetual calendar in it. It was small enough to fit on a few pages and represent every year possible. When I read that chain mail for the first time, this dictionary is the first thing that came to mind, and I knew it couldn't be true, regardless of mathematical feasibility.
