Fab Five: August is a special month

Did you know that the month of August, 2014, has five Fridays, five Saturdays and five Sundays, all of which are in consecutive date order on the calendar?

According to Snopes.com, if a month has 31 days, it will include five Sundays, five Mondays, and five Tuesdays if the first day of the month is a Sunday, as August did in 2004 and 2010. August begins on a Sunday in a cycle of 6,5,6, and 11 years.
