I was informed today that this coming July has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays, and 5 Sundays.
Won't happen again for hundreds of years.
Thought it was neat enough to pass along.

Not true.
The last time it happened was 2005, and it will happen again in 2016. It would happen every 7 years, exept leap years screw things up, so it ranges from 5 to 11 years.
Every month with 31 days has 3 consecutive days that occur 5 times that month.
I thought he was talking about the specific days F,S,S

He was.
If you're not worried about F,S,S, then all you have to do is find any month with 31 days, every single one of which has 3 consecutive days that occur 5 times in that month, those three days always being whichever day of the week is the 1st of the month, plus the two days following.
August 2011, for instance, will have 5 mondays, tuesdays and wednesdays.

I see. So not as rare as some of us were led to believe.
Fact is, the ONLY kinda stuff like this I REALLY care about, is when THREE paydays fall in ONE month. DATS NIIIIICE!

I guess the X's attorney will be calling wanting extra money for this July...
July must be a selfish month higging all the weekends like that.
