Default The story of how cards came to be. (very interesting)

i post this every couple weeks cause there are so many new people that dont know this AND it is very interesting. the deck of cards is our calendar. bet you didnt know that huh. there are 52 cards in a deck and 52 weeks in a year. there are 4 suits and four seasons there are 13 weeks in a season and 13 cards in a suit. there are 4 suits and there are 4 season and there are 12 face cards for the 12 months. COOOL HUH??????? oh on a standard deck the ones with the tiny little diamonds on the back of the cards there are supposedly 364 little diamonds on the back of each card and on the back of the ACE OF SP there are 365 little diamonds. the extra one is for the extra day in the leap year which comes every 4 year,---4 suits. anyway the little diamonds thing is a myth i never counted them lol just thought that i would share that with the community

I always thought there were 365 days in a normal year and 366 in a leap year. Thanks for putting me right Michael.
