Ridley's Believe It Or
Not--January 16, 2014: Slim pickings
for holidays today, but did find these gems of questionable legitimacy
(other than Flag Day and Religious Freedom Day) to celebrate:
1. Flag
Day---If in Israel: ours is on June 14.
2. Get to Know Your Customer Day--If you have to wait till this
day, you're probably out of business or meeting with lawyers to prepare B/K
filing.
3. Appreciate a Dragon Day---Originated in 2004 by Donita K.
Paulto celebrate literacy with the realease of DragonSeed. Read a book to your children and do not
let them play Dungeons and Dragons in celebration.
4. Religious Freedom Day. Regardless of faith or nonfaith, great day to
realize how fortunate we are in terms of our religious rights.
On this day in:
a. 1919 the 18th Amendment was ratified, allowing
the failied experiment of Prohibition to commence one year later.
b. 1991 the Pentagon announced the
commencement of Operation Desert Storm, the "Mother of All
Battles" which resulted in defeat of Iraqi forces in 100 hours (Now
that's a blitzkrieg!).
c. 2005 Romanian university lecturer and novelist
Adrian Iliescu gave birth at 66 to
her daughter Eliza, breaking the record for the oldest birth mother in the
world--nothing like being 84 to watch your daughter graduate form high
school or 88 on college graduation.
