Not to spoil everyone's fun, but that's a highly erroneous rumor started somewhere. Actually, it averages every seven years -- ranging from five to 11 years due to leap years. After this year, it won't happen again until 2021 but then again in 2027, 2032 and 2038. Something about mathematics and calendars that turn me on. But, it's a great non-factoid. An old editor once told me, "Don't let the facts get in the way of good story." That was 48 years ago and I still remember that saying. Thanks guys for the fun.....
