July 2011 will have 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens every 623 years, and it is apparently called "the money bags" by the Chinese.
October 2011 will have 5 Saturdays, 5 Sundays and 5 Mondays. This happens every 823 years.
And of course, this year also contains several auspicious dates: 1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11 and 11/11/11.
Time to buy a lottery ticket?

Frankly, I do not believe this at all, because I think that "perpetual calendars" only cover a span of maybe 20 or 25 years before repeating themselves. Therefore, the concept of "623" years is ridiculous.

Huh? But the belief must be based on something.
Drat. Now I feel compelled to look it up.
My husband would have been 60 on 11/11/11. Don't guess it will be his lucky day.

don't the chinese originally have their own calendar? where they so concerned with our calender 623 years ago that they have a name for something happening in it, that we don't have a name for?

I think I also read that this is the 3rd year in a row with 13 new moons.

Why are you so obsessed with calenders?
