Ghost Week!




It happens every eight to nine years...Ghost Week!!! It's like Shark Week, but way better.

February 1 is on a Sunday and it's not a leap year, so the month only uses four rows. The fifth week is missing. For OCD/neatness freaks, it's just the best thing ever. Look how neatly the whole month packs in there. Why can't other months be this efficient? Because they're just lazy and bloated, like politicians, Windows, your neighbour's kids, etc. Besides it giving a year that has three Friday-the-thirteenths, here are some things that you probably didn't know about Ghost Week:


  • Your calendar will cost 1/52 less than other years
  • You don't have to go to school or work
  • You don't have to pay taxes
  • It never snows
  • Speeding tickets and gambling debts are forgiven



  • You're allowed to shoot that a**hole in the BMW
  • A mob boss must forgive your slight to his family
  • At the gas station you just pay what you feel is right
  • You'll get in better shape without working out
  • The statues (Moai) on Easter Island smile



For this knowledge...you're welcome, in advance.
