The irony that my birthday is listed as "Healthy Lifestyles Awareness Day" is almost more than I can stand. Pass me another cupcake. And a cookie while you're at it.
Hey, interesting 14th of march will be Pi day. Interesting enough, this is on 3.14, the first three digits of Pi. Who will be inspired to make a Pi related photo on March 14th?
Great list, thanks for posting this!
Thanks for the suggestion!
