31 Days Hath November?

A Rathdrum man pulled over for speeding Tuesday gave a Spokane Valley police officer good reason to be suspicious: he claimed to have been born on Nov. 31. Knowing that “30 days hath September, April, June, and November,” (Officer Jack) Rosenthal arrested the man for giving false information and failing to cooperate,” according to a news release prepared by Sgt. Dave Reagan. Brian Lloyd Measel, whose real birth date is March 18, 1985, was booked into Spokane County Jail after police found a scorched metal spoon and a syringe with morphine in his pocket/Meghann M. Cuniff, SR. More here.

Question: Have you ever encountered an American adult who didn't know how many days each month has?
