The August month number is 08 & it’s eighth month of the year & do you know about what month comes after August. It’s 31 days month, no matter what year is it.
08
The eighth month on the calendar – August! August seems like that shy kid who we all know exists in the classroom but you never really sense him around much! The month just comes and goes without making too much noise. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hold any importance. In fact quite the opposite – August is actually a very important part of the year. Don’t believe me? Well be prepared to have your mind blown!
Crazy facts about August –
- “I have a dream!” As soon as you hear those words, you know who is being referred to… Martin Luther King Jr. On August 28th 1963, this legend stood on the steps of Lincoln Memorial in Washington as he addressed the 250,000 people in starting a movement to end racism and discrimination.
- The month of August also bears the burden of being the tragic moment when US decided to drop the atomic bombs on Japan. The first one on August 6th 1945 in Hiroshima and in Nagasaki on August 9th.
- Here’s another crazy fact, just like its cousins June and May, August too has a unique day of the week that it starts on. And in a Leap year, the day matches with February’s start date.
- We might not have a sandwich if August didn’t exist! Okay that’s not true but the first ever sandwich was made in August, when a man asked for bread with a piece of meat in between them during a game of gambling. Now, I don’t know about you, but if a man asks for bread and meat in the middle of a gambling game, I’m giving it to him no questions asked! Also, August used to be called the “Weed Month”… and not for the reasons you’re thinking of right now.
