Happy 2nd Friday the 13th of 2009

Yes we get two this year. If February (not a leap year) has a Friday the 13th then March will have a Friday the 13th.

More later when I get my head back in the game.

I am grateful for weird trivia.

I was in the breakroom yesterday when it came up that today would be Friday the 13th.

Co-worker1: Didn't we just have one in February?

Co-worker2: Yeah, I guess we got another one since February's short or something.

Me: Usually February has 28 days, which is evenly divisible by 7, so March always mirrors February on non-leap years.

Co-worker2 (snippily): There's no need to get all mathy.

Oops, that was me. Thought I was logged in.

Three! November and March are always the same, and barring leap years, of course, February is too.
