My cousin just forwarded this e-mail to me and I thought it might be fun to pass along. However I decided to check on its validity first. I found this on Snopes. Apparently it's not true that it happens only once every 823 years and there's nothing Feng Shui about it.
This year, July has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens once every 823 years. This is called money bags.
So, forward this to your friends and money will arrive within 4 days. Based on Chinese Feng Shui. The one who does not forward.....will be without money.
This year we're going to experience four unusual dates.
1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11 and that's not all...
Take the last two digits of the year in which you were born - now add
the age you will be this year,
The results will be 111 for everyone in whole world. This is the year of
the Money!!!
The proverb goes that if you send this to eight good friends money will
appear in next four days as it is explained in Chinese FENGSHUI.
Never mind the sending this e-mail on part according to the Chinese Feng Shui thought. Do you seriously think the Chinese of old thought of forwarding things on to get good luck? I imagine they had far more important things to worry about... not to mention not having the luxury of e-mail.
There's way too much stuff on the Internet zooming around as Forwarded Mail that is just bogus and I'm sure a lot of people get taken in by it.

it's important to check it out on snopes...I dislike the emails that say if you have to send this or...
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I wonder how that age thing works? I did add how old I will be to the last two digits of the year I was born and found it to be true. I could use some money but never forward anything to anyone...
ReplyDeleteAlways wise to take these things with a pinch of salt. Thanks for stopping by Kay, have a great weekend.
ReplyDeletep.s. just thought of something else. I heard that one of the reasons 'people' like these forwards sent around is that it is a good way for the spammers to get loads of e-mail addresses.
ReplyDeleteI got that e-mail and didn't forward it. It looks like going to work today is going to be the only way any money will come my way.
ReplyDeleteinteresting,, mmmm, guess we'll just have to wait and see,, the only money we ever have is kind we worked for,, we aren't lucky at lotteries or that sort of thing,, it will take a lot of witchy witchy woo to make us million aires,,
ReplyDeleteI never forward anything if I can avoid it. Things like that are virus magnets. Me? Millionaire?
ReplyDeleteNot bloody likely!!!!
I don't forward things usually - they're just there to fill up the mailbox. If I do think something should be posted on I take out all the header addresses. Mostly these things are rubbish.
ReplyDeleteEvery year has months like that. Last month had three Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays. This month, will only 30 days, has three Wednesdays and Tuesdays. Last year we had "interesting dates" like 10/10/10 and the year before 09/09/09.
ReplyDeleteI always check things out on snopes.com, and I always reply to people who send me these things by suggesting they check snopes before forwarding. Some have actually told me it's "easier" for them to let me look it up!

ReplyDeleteOh, well.
How do you like the thunder we are having right now at 5:50 am in Hawaii?
I received this mail few days back and i ignored it.But it was interesting to read.The mail claimed that it was a 'money-bag'.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. I don't forward things. Sometimes I am charmed by dates like 1-11-11, but on the whole I delete these things.
ReplyDeleteYou two have a great day.
I've seen this lately also. Well, maybe unknown people would just like to send us unlimited quantities of money. If they really need to get it off their hands, I suppose I could help them out by accepting it!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as they ask me to send it to 8 of my friends, they lose me.
ReplyDeletegood idea to check Snopes.
ReplyDeleteawesome Honolulu clouds are GREAT feng sui!
ReplyDeleteAloha from Honolulu

Forwarded stuff is often worth it's Free price.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing that begs for delete more than a Fw. in the subject line.
