EDIT: I take it back. I just looked at a real calendar, and this is wrong. There are 5 Saturdays, Sundays and Tuesdays (not Fridays). Grrrr.
Someone also sent this clip of a Chinese ballet company's version of Swan Lake. To me, it's ballet with a touch of Cirque de Soleil. Impressive.
I am glad I show restaint on sending you items by email. To save an email, here is a database of poetry that the U of T has been collecting since before the Internet. http://rpo.library.utoronto.ca/
ReplyDeleteI guess this is a delivery by the back door.
LOL, those things get posted on Facebook too, from time to time. The stuff about 823 years is rubbish, of course - any month pattern appears at least once every year, and any month with 31 days will have four full weeks plus three extra days (so, five of three days in a row). Snopes did a page about this hoax which is quite interesting in itself: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/trivia/fivedays.asp
ReplyDeleteOmw....The toe on the shoulder is incredible!

I am so lucky people don't forward too much stuff to me. And if they do, I usually just delete the stuff. But I have to agree, once in a while there is a little gem to be had, like Swan Lake!
ReplyDeleteI can't figure out if I love or don't love this Swan Lake. I usually like modern dance and often like new twists on old stuff, but this doesn't seem like dance, even though it's admirable and awe-inspiring
ReplyDeleteI think you mean 5 Sun, Mon and Tues in July. I look for the months with 3 pays (2 a year) and circle them :-)
ReplyDeleteThat was 2011, methinks. :)
