What are We Celebrating Today -- April 15, 2011?

Today is going to be a busy day. I have so much to do before I have to pick up Angela and drive down to Florida for the weekend. My neice gets confirmed on Sunday....

1). National That Sucks Day: Oh how funny! I guess you could say that this holiday is probably due to the fact it's not only tax day but the day the Titanic sunk. And I know the sinking Titanic did suck....and the result was a lot of deaths. At least if something goes wrong today, I can say it's because today is National That Sucks Day. LOL

2). Titanic Remembrance Day: On this day in 1912, 1522 people died as the result of a chain of unfortunate events that ended in the Titanic hitting an iceberg. The Titanic was called "unsinkable" and the "safest ship afloat" by her builder and designer...but obviously that wasn't true. It only took about 2 hours for the ship to sink....

3). Rubber Eraser Day: Yes, this holiday celebrates the little rubberplug on the end of your pencil. Why not just call it "Eraser Day"? There's two reasons. The first erasers were made of rubber. Today, they are made of rubber, or vinyl.  Secondly, in Great Brittain, they are formally called "rubbers". I know some of you are laughing about now too....make no mistake about that. LOL.

4). Income Tax Pay Day: I know we'd all like to skip this one, but we can't.

5). National Take A Wild Guess Day: Hmm, about what? I guess about anything. This holiday honors guesses, hunches, inspirations, speculations and other forms of “intuitive intelligence.” I don't think the IRS would appove of you taking a Wild Guess on your taxes though.

6). DNA Day: This holiday commemorates the completion of the Human Genome Project in April 2003, and the discovery of DNA's double helix. Go learn more about genetics and genomics today!

7). McDonald's Day: April 15, 1955 is the date when  the first franchised McDonald's restaurant opened in Des Plaines, Illinois. And in celebration (and because of tax day), McDonald's is having a Bogo on their 10 pc. Chicken McNuggets. I plan on getting some for the dinner, since I'll be on the road with Angela.
