1: Independence Day Date, July 4th occurred on a Thursday! During my Junior High school years, I decided to study over & memorize the Gregorian Calendar. So I can quickly & honestly tell others what day a family event occurred on I was born on a Wednesday. & like July of 2012 it was close to superstition date, “Friday, the 13th”.
2: Friday the 13th occurs when Months start on a Sunday & 12 days later is Friday, “Month title” 13th, “Year”.
3: Thursday, February 29th, 1968 was 10,000 Weeks & 70,000 Days! 18 weeks later, was Thursday, July 4th, 1968 & 192nd Anniversary of Independence Day, Thursday, July 4th, 1776. At another site, I created Math_Maestro as my Username, because my deep liking of numerology & Beethoven’s 5th Symphony, I let a CD of it lure me to sleep. My Username @ Dailyink is 63x927is58401 (a numerical equation that requirea all 10 Arabic Numerals [1234567890] & it is correct, also. I can still remember the date when the Bi-Centennial occurred on Sunday, July 4th, 1976 that was 73,048 days (10,435 weeks & 3 days) after Thursday, July 4th 1776. 4: 2012: Bi-Centennial was 13,149 days (1,878 weeks & 3 days).
5: Thursday, July 4th, 1776 to Wednesday, July 4th, 2012 differs 86,197 days (12,313 weeks & 6 days). In 2013, 237th anniversary will be 86,562 days equaling 12,366 weeks, exactly!
