A Filipino has that distinction of being called The Human Calendar, memorizing calendar patterns is an art called "calendrical calculation" and was made famous by Ireneo Bughao when it got featured on Ripley's Believe It or Not on November 22, 1996 (a Friday) and then immortalized on the famed Ripley's cartoon on October 8, 1997 (a Wednesday). He was dubbed as the Human Calendar. If it sounds like a superhero with **specific superpowers then he must have his own Bruce Wayne/Clark Kent persona! Legend has it, well he told us in a chance encounter at Hyatt hotel and casino, that he first realized his mental abilities when he memorized 400 scientific names of various living things in preparation for an exam from a scourge professor. He challenged himself by writing a scientific name in a sand bed by the shore. He must memorize it before the mild surf erases what he wrote. Mr. Bughao aced the 200 item exam. His insatiable desire for mastering memory led him to breaking down the trends that govern the Gregorian calendar making it simple for him to predict days and dates ad infinitum!
