And last but not least:
In 2011, July has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays, and 5 Sundays. This apparently happens once every 823 years! This is called 'money
bags'.
Googol is the common name for 1 followed by a hundred zeros (or 10 raised to the 100th) - Google is a misspelling of it.

Actually - check the 1983 calendar. This happens every 28 years unless one of those years happens to be a non-leap-year hundred year (like 1900, but not 2000).
