Jim from CA, retired to ID, answered:
The number of months that have 31 days are seven
Marian replied:
7 months.
Kelly Monaco could play Liz Taylor. She physically resembles her and can act and dance (although I don't think of Liz as dancing).
Knucklehead Dale of Diamond Springs responded:
Seven, using the knuckles method!
The knuckles of the four fingers of one's hand and the spaces between them can be used to remember the lengths of the months. By making a fist, each month will be listed as one proceeds across the hand. All months landing on a knuckle are 31 days long and those landing between them are not. When the knuckle of the index finger is reached (July), go back to the first knuckle (or over to the first knuckle on the other fist, held next to the first) and continue with August. This physical mnemonic has been taught to primary school students for many decades. This cyclical pattern of month lengths matches the musical keyboard alternation of white and black keys (with the note 'F' correlating to the month of January).
So just don't look at a calendar---Knuckle up!!

Too many... The calendar is all screwed up, I'm tellin' ya, and I know just how to fix it, dagnabbit... (Hang with me here a minute, would ya now?)
Well then, I assert that there should be 5 months of 31 days and 7 months of 30 days, alternated, with January starting with 30 days and December ending with 31. Add 'em up, E! fans - 365 days - there, I did it fer ya.
(Yer-very-welcome...) I mean, how simple is that? No more of this Leap Year crap and... Oh, wait... We need a Leap Day every four years to keep things in synch... Curses! Foiled again!

Smiling Moment - Reading JoeS's narrative and seeing his way neat-o class picture. A 'ladies man' in the sixth grade, eh? Dude!... Seriously!... Which brings to mind a summer's week when I was a younger man on the Lake Michigan beaches and in the watering holes around Onekama (so I know how it's pronounced) and Manistee. Hot fun in the summer time in and around that beach-house we stayed in, I'm tellin' ya!

With both of your hands, make a fist and curl your fingers in toward your palms so they resemble the image below.
Put both hands together without criss-crossing them.
High spots represent more days as more is a higher quantity, thus a higher point. Low spots represent less days, thus a lower point.
Ignore the gap between the two hands as you know July and August are the only two months consecutively within the same year that have 31 days.February is the odd ball as you should know. It has either 28 or 29 days, depending on the year number.

The thought of Lindsay Lohan as Liz is appalling... Cringe-worthy again comes to mind... But, it also brings to mind a poll. Who could possibly portray Liz the best? Take a day, or two, E! fans (I need that myself, frankly, to think it over) and send your thoughts to BCEpoll@aol.com and I'll put together a compilation...

When a television news network needs to interrupt programming with breaking news, the alert animation is not supposed to scare the host more than the actual news.
But that's what happened, and now video of Fox News host Megyn Kelly's reaction is getting attention.
The segment on the "fiscal cliff" began with a brand-new breaking news alert graphic. Someone apparently forgot to warn Kelly that the graphics department had been working overtime.
After it appeared, the "America Live" anchor was shown with her hands over her mouth looking surprised, and not in a good way.
Kelly was so distracted by the animation onslaught, she actually asked her guest, Fox News editor Chris Stirewalt, about it. "So, did you think of that alert, did it scare you?"

You may be singing "Call Me Maybe" or dancing "Gangnam Style" to this year's music, but it was veteran hip-hop artist Dr. Dre who topped Forbes' list of the 25 highest-paid musicians in 2012, released on Thursday.
California native Dre, 47, became one of the leading names in hip-hop and rap in the early 1990s and has worked with artists including Eminem and Snoop Dogg.
Along with his extensive back catalog, Dre's lucrative headphones business, Beats by Dre, helped him gross $100 million in pre-tax earnings according to Forbes.
The list's top 10 was dominated by veteran musicians, with Pink Floyd's bassist and singer Roger Waters coming in at No. 2 with earnings of $88 million from his lucrative The Wall Live tour, and British singer Elton John at No. 3 with $80 million.
Last year's highest-paid musicians U2 landed at No. 4 this year with combined earnings of $78 million from their three-year 360 tour. 1990s British boy band Take That, who reformed in 2005, rounded out the top five with $69 million, earned from an eight-date tour at London's Wembley Stadium, which became the highest-grossing single stadium tour to date.
A Wisconsin chapter of a cancer-support group is removing a reference to Gilda Radner from its name, angering some fans of the former Saturday Night Live comedienne.
The Middleton chapter of Gilda's Club is changing its name to Cancer Support Community Southwest Wisconsin. Officials say one reason is because some people might not know who Radner was.
Lannia Syren Stenz runs the Middleton chapter. She told the Wisconsin State Journal officials switched to a name that was more descriptive.
But Radner fans say a better solution is to educate people about who Radner was, not remove traces of her memory.

A spokeswoman for Michael Jackson's father says the musical family's patriarch has suffered a mild stroke.
Angel Howansky says Joe Jackson went to a Las Vegas hospital late Wednesday night when he had trouble standing up and walking. She says the 83-year old Jackson was having pains in his head but reports he is feeling fine Thursday and should be released on Friday.
Jackson's wife, Katherine, is reportedly on her way to Las Vegas to be with him. Jackson has maintained a residence there for many years while his wife lives in Los Angeles, where she cares for the late pop star's children.
Howansky says Jackson has had small strokes at least twice before this.
Hollywood's Universal Studios has filed a copyright lawsuit against a porn production company, accusing it of lifting language, characters and plot from the best-selling erotic book trilogy "Fifty Shades of Grey" for its own adult films and sex toys.
Calling one of the adult movie adaptations of the British novel "a rip-off plain and simple," Universal's lawsuit seeks to stop sales of copycat porn movies and to recoup any profits they earn.
"Fifty Shades of Grey" by E.L. James and its two sequels have sold more than 40 million copies since first being published in 2011. Universal bought the rights for a film adaptation earlier this year for a reported $5 million.
The suit was filed jointly in federal court in California on Tuesday by Universal and James's British company which owns the copyright to the novels.
The lawsuit said that Los Angeles-based based Smash Pictures had produced a movie called "Fifty Shades of Grey: a XXX Adaptation" which lifted "exact dialogue, characters, events, story, and style from the 'Fifty Shades' trilogy."

Eric Hartsburg, the 30-year-old Michigan City, Ind., man who had Mitt Romney's campaign logo tattooed on his face, has had enough.
Even though in the wake of Romney's defeat, Hartsburg said he planned to keep the 5-by-2-inch image, he told Politico on Wednesday that he's now preparing to get the image removed by laser after Romney's postelection comments. Hartsburg pointed to Romney's claim that President Barack Obama won because he offered gifts to minority voters.
"It stands not only for a losing campaign but for a sore loser," Hartsburg said of his tattoo and its connection to Romney. "He's pretty shameful as far as I'm concerned, man. There's no dignity in blaming somebody else for buying votes and paying off people. I can't get behind that or stay behind that."
French actor Gerard Depardieu was detained for driving his scooter while drunk on Thursday after he had a minor accident in Paris, prosecutors said.
The 63-year-old star of films such as "Jean de Florette" and "Green Card" was held for questioning after he fell from his scooter mid-afternoon, slightly injuring his elbow.
No-one else was hurt in the accident.
The incident came just months after a car driver filed a legal complaint for assault and battery against Depardieu in August following an altercation in Paris.

Star Wars fans might soon have another Yoda statue in the San Francisco Bay area to visit.
Filmmaker George Lucas plans to help build a small park in Marin County that would feature a bronze sculpture of the popular Star Wars character, along with one of Indiana Jones.
Lucas' estate manager, Sarita Patel, said the Yoda statue would be similar to one in San Francisco's Presidio neighborhood. That one - a full-sized replica of the Jedi sage - lies atop a fountain outside an arts center where Lucas moved most of his operations in 2005. It has become a big draw for fans.
Lucas applied for a permit Wednesday to demolish a building on the site of the planned park in San Anselmo, the town where he lives, the Marin Independent Journal reported.
He announced over the summer that he planned to donate the land where the building sits to the San Anselmo Chamber of Commerce, and donate the statues for the proposed park. Lucas has since also agreed to pay for the building's demolition.
Batman's ride is up for sale - just the thing for cruising on those Dark Knights.
The original Batmobile from the 1960s TV series will be auctioned on Jan. 19 at the Barrett-Jackson auction house in Scottsdale, Ariz.
The 19-foot-long black, bubble-topped car was used in the TV show that starred Adam West as the Caped Crusader.
The car's owner - famed auto customizer George Barris, of Los Angeles - transformed a one-of-a-kind 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car into a sleek crime-fighting machine. On the show, it boasted lasers and a Batphone and could lay down smoke screens and oil slicks.
Call it a card player's dream. A complete set of 52 silver playing cards gilded in gold and dating back 400 years has been discovered.
Created in Germany around 1616, the cards were engraved by a man named Michael Frömmer, who created at least one other set of silver cards.
According to a story, backed up by a 19th-century brass plate, the cards were at one point owned by a Portuguese princess who fled the country, cards in hand, after Napoleon's armies invaded in 1807.
At the time they were created in 1616 no standardized cards existed; different parts of Europe had their own card styles. This particular set uses a suit seen in Italy, with swords, coins, batons and cups in values from ace to 10. Each of these suits has three face cards - king, knight (also known as cavalier) and knave. There are no jokers.
