This year....................

[Tee Gee]

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, and the result will be 111 for everyone...!!

This is the year of Money..!!!

This year October will have 5 Sundays, 5 Mondays and 5 Saturdays.


This happens only every 823 years...

These particular years are known as 'Moneybags'...

The proverb goes that if you send this to eight good friends (already today translated from the Brazilian version..!) money blessings will appear in the next four days as is explained in Chinese feng-shui...  And just thinking of them in such generosity creates generosity of thought, which is always a blessing.


It's a mystery, and it's always nice to send blessings, however they might reveal themselves.

Unfortuately the whole 823 years and Moneybags is a myth...Just another Internet Hoax

Any month that has 31 days and begins on a Sunday will feature the same combination of fives - it happens on average every 7 years..

Also the 111 thing works every year  for everyone - next year it will be 112 and the year after 113 - as long as you were born pre 2000

Just a modern variation of a chain letter I suppose, send to 8,10, 100 friends and you will be assured of good luck for the year, sort of thing.

a "proverb" that involves emails i'm guessing isn't that old............unless it's Chinese - they were probably at it 2000 years ago, like most things
