Do You Know What Today Is?

Yeah, everyone knows it's Friday the 13th. If you're uncomfortable with that date, and I mean really uncomfortable, you may have friggatriskaidekaphobia, or 'fear of Friday the 13th'.

Besides it being Friday the 13th, here are some other 'observances' that are taking place today:

I like this one...
Since this is the first Friday the 13th of the year, it is also Blame Someone Else Day.
If you make any mistakes or errors or forgot something, you don't have to take responsibility or blame for it; blame someone else instead. But be careful, while you're putting blame on someone else, they may be blaming you for something they did.

More 'observances'...
Frog Jumping Day has its origins dating back to Mark Twain's first short story, Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog. Read Twain's short story or jump like a frog or jump over a frog. Have fun with it.

Leprechaun Day is just for Leprechauns. According to Irish legend, Leprechauns have a hidden pot of gold and must give you his pot of gold if you catch him. Take a few minutes to admire your own 'pot of gold.' Otherwise, go out and catch a Leprechaun.
