Superstition or Feng Shui
I am Druid Pagan enough to believe that it never hurts to participate in superstitions.  It may have no affect on the universe nor help with any prosperity, but as they say "How could it hurt"... unless it requires human sacrifice.
I got the following email from a friend with the admonition that I must forward it on, or impune my chances at monetary gain.  It is somewhat interesting and does not require any blood letting.
In an effort to reach more people than the few in my address book who not appreciate the chain mail, I forward it here. 
Find interest if you wish, participate in the superstition if you must but, my responsibility toward the whole exercise is now complete. I am assuming this will be acceptable to the ancient Chinese science of Feng Shui astronomy and geometry.  Even though I doubt the concept of forwarding email or publishing blogs was known to the ancients.

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.
Let me know how much money you received in four days. I'll do the same. I wonder if it is a standard fee or
As  you were,

Well, I hate to burst your superstitious friend's bubble, but July has 5 Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays whenever the first of the month falls on Friday, which occurs about every 7 years. It happened in 2011, but not this year.

Does that mean I can't get the money?
