how many days are in each month?

as soon as i learned the knuckle trick, it was all i ever needed to quickly remember how many days are in each month! as demonstrated in the photo below, start with two fists. the leftmost knuckle represents january, then the valley is february, the next knuckle is march, etc... all the months on knuckles have 31 days. the valley months have 30 (or how ever many february has in a particular year!). very useful!

You realise this finally gives us an experimental falsification of Intelligent Design, since it predicts that we should have two extra winter months?

Or, if you don't have a suitable appendage available to count across with, go across one hand for JFMAMJJ then counting again on the same knuckle (otherwise it would just be an alternation) go back across for ASOND.
