It's also a popular month for revolutions and beer-fests. And there's probably a connection.

I heard that said on the Radio and thought - that's crap!
The only reason this month has 3 Fridays, 3 Saturdays and 3 Sundays is because the First of October fell on Friday.
This has happened ten times in the last century alone.
1915, 1926, 1937, 1943, 1954, 1965, 1971, 1982, 1993, 1999.
Check it out.

I'm hoping for a repeat of October 1917.
