#45What is the point in having such _days_? Consequently, shouldn't we also have a Scientists' day, an Actors' day, a Plumbers' day, blah blah? Everyone has a place in the universe. All we have to do is never to forget our true calling.
That's what Labor Day is for. It is a day to celebrate the contributions of all workers to the country.

#48Programmers' Day lands on Friday the 13th hmmmm...
What are the odds!?
1:7 was my guess, but quick check from 1990 to 2200 shows it's much higher, in 60 out of 210 years it will be Friday on Programmers' Day, with all days occurring 29, 31, 30, 0, 60, 30 and 30 times for Monday through Sunday respectively.

Incorrect. The apostrophe is only after the possessive if the thing it's owning is plural in addition to the possessive. Day is not plural.

You're just taunting us that the year isn't zero-indexed! You could at least have the decency to hide it from us like Oracle[1]. [1] http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/functions/substr.php
Wow, that was upsetting to read.
The best part is that they have to keep it to maintain backwards compatibility!
