Today's Obscure Holiday 2/22/13

Today we have a number of obscure (or not so obscure) holidays, the most prominent being George Washington's birthday. However, it is also Be Humble Day, Walk the Dog Day, and International World Thinking Day (Wait. would that be more prominent because it says international?...)

To make each of these unique I have an interesting fact for them:

  • George Washington's most famous quote is "I cannot tell a lie... I chopped down the cherry tree!" 
  • In keeping with the spirit of the day, the creator of Be Humble Day could not brag about his creation. As a result, he remains unknown. :P
  • Walking the Dog" is a yo-yo trick. So, if you have a Yo-Yo, you can celebrate the day by "walking the dog" with your yo-yo. 
  • Thinking Day celebrated all over the world by Girl Scouts, Girl Guides, and other girl groups


Recipe of the Day: Jello Cake

Flower of the Day: Maltese Cross


Or... Lilliput Zinnias
