    Of course poor people never die in private plane crashes because they can only afford commercial flights. In coach. When a private plane crashes from one to 10 rich people die. When a commercial airliner crashes over 100 and up poor people die. But nobody knows their names a week later so we don't remember that.

    Lots of rock stars were killed in private plane crashes. If I was a rock star I'd get me one of those Willie Nelson style motorcoaches and never leave the ground.

    When I posted that I had just read it in the newspaper. It didn't say whether that applied to August or any other month. Thinking about it I realized that any 31 day month that starts on a Friday would meet that criteria with the 5th Sunday falling on the 31st. I would think that would be pretty common. There are 7 months with 31 days and 7 days in a week. Wouldn't the odds be 1 in 7 for 7 times a year. Any mathematicians know how this can be?
