"I don't know about 2 Sundays, but if the world ends on schedule tomorrow, this month will only have had 3 Sundays."

and that's the reason God will delay the end of world. Can't lose a Sunday, ya know.

LOL, does time continue after the apocalypse? Will the Canucks be declared cup winners for being ahead?

It amazes me how so many people struggle with even the most rudimentary mathematics. Every month has to begin on one of the seven days of the week, and the odds over the long term are about equal of each.

So in each 31 day month, the odds of three Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays is?

1/7 guys. Every month which starts on a Sunday. With 7 months of 31 days per year, about one per year matching the criteria. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
