Do you know what silly holiday it is today?

Asked by scamp (13149points) October 22nd, 2009

Today is international capslock day, so if someone seems to be shouting at you, they might be celebrating, or they might just be plain old rude. What other holidays do you think are silly?

This is madness. but please dont mention sparta.

well, here in spain we like to let a load of bulls loose and have them chase us, inevitably injuring something.

In the UK they enjoy cheese rollong competitions that if i remember correctly is also part of a celebration of some kind.

But my all time fave has to be thousands of Japanese people riding a massive log down the side of a large hill.

As for just weird and silly days where no one actually does much i cant think of any.
