Do You Know What Day It Is?

It's Chocolate Day!

Hmm. I read somewhere else it is Dec 28. I guess two chocolate days can't hurt. According to Celebrate the Date today is Healthy Heart Day. Next Sunday is Moo Cow Day. Who makes this stuff up? And why? Ring finger Day? Flip a Pancake Day? How 'bout flip a bird day? OK, that was just dumb. They give you a joke for each day too. The joke for today is:

A class professor was giving a lecture on company slogans and was asking his students if they were familiar with them. "Joe," he asked, "which company has the slogan, 'come fly the friendly skies'?"
Joe answered the correct airline.

"Brenda, can you tell me which company has the slogan, "Don't leave home without it?"
Brenda answered the correct credit card company with no difficulty.

"Now John, Tell me which company bears the slogan, 'Just do it'?"

And John answered, "Mom...."

Can you tell I don't really have anything to say today? I never got pictures of the snow, I'm watching a "Wings" rerun, and it's raining - has been almost all night. There's not much interesting in the news (to me anyway), no exploding whales. Wow, that was a popular subject. Everyone wanted to see the exploded whale. There is a video available. And there is a definitive exploding whale website, but it's a different whale and the explosion was sort of helped along (dynamite). Here's an excerpt.

So they moved the spectators back up the beach, put a half-ton of dynamite next to the whale and set it off. I am probably not guilty of understatement when I say that what follows, on the videotape, is the most wonderful event in the history of the universe. First you see the whale carcass disappear in a huge blast of smoke and flame. Then you hear the happy spectators shouting "Yayy!" and "Whee!" Then, suddenly, the crowd's tone changes. You hear a new sound like "splud." You hear a woman's voice shouting "Here come pieces of... MY GOD!" Something smears the camera lens.

Have fun!
